    The uploaded PDF contains all the instructions; please read them carefully. Below is the list of classes that might be especially helpful to refer to according to the option you choose to write. 
    Option 1: classes 4,6,7

    Option 3: classes 10 and 11
    you can choose whichever option you feel has more content information and is easier for you. Make sure not to format this assignment as a script; it should be arranged in 4-5 paragraphs. I am also attaching a reference formatting PDF to follow. Analyse on the basis of big-picture concepts; some examples are given in the PDF “Format help” (start from page 7). Kindly refer to and cite only the course material uploaded, including my “ENV100 NOTES” pdf, which includes lecture and reading notes. To reference anything from the lectures, just write the lecture number and page number of the notes in PDF alongside. I will cite the lecture information myself. 
    I am from India, studying in Canada, maybe add points related to the environmental conditions in India etc.
    General guidelines: The purpose of the writing will be to create a persuasive argument on fostering hope for a sustainable future, which applies to all the above options. 
    Connect the conversation with Justice, Economics or Education as a base idea according to the options given. 
    Critically analyze the connections/synergies between the author’s ideas, considering their value and/or
    limitations for the goal of fostering a hopeful and
    sustainable future.
    You will also bring in your own thoughts and work to
    make connections to additional
    readings/videos/ideas from the course. You can use “I” as well, wherever needed.
