Evaluation
I had some trouble following the author in this article. I definitely think that the author is a reliable source, however, I do think that the way he worded thing was almost in a way that lead people to believe they should already know the topic, therefore detailed information is not necessary. I could be wrong and maybe others would understand it a little better than I did. I thought the information was very interesting, and it is good to know that people all over are "going green". In my opinion from what I have read, China is the leader in Going Green technology. Overall, I do not feel that I would use this source again for this research topic. The information is very interesting, but it needs a little more explanation and more information regarding the "Green city" projects, such as exact locations and how long they have been active for.
