Marcia Castellani 7/19/2019 5:40 AMThere is a real condition called Eco-depression. According to NPR, this condition is caused by people worrying about the changes to the environment and feeling helpless. This challenge gives people a real sense of hope through involvement. I plan to inform NPR about this Challenge, and together we can solve Eco-depression and its root cause! -
