Round 1

Dear Authors,

In my opinion, the quality of the formal execution of the manuscript is not worthy of the standard of the journal. For this reason, I recommend a major revision of the manuscript according to the formal requirements of the scientific articles and according to the instructions for authors (of Sustainability journal).
