     There 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!

    The Plastic Free Eco-challenge is a wonderful way to learn about plastics reduction or any other area where actions are required.  Loving the challenge so far!
