My eco-challenge is going okay, but I could do better.  This has been a good practice for me to challenge myself to reduce my plastic waste.

This video about microplastics in St. Louis ground water was very eye opening!  Yikes....  It makes me realize that every little bit of effort we make with reducing plastics (and cleaning them up), matters.  Here is a link to a video.  I found it on the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center Youtube page.  I highly recommend listening to Teresa...

I watched the video, "Is Recyling Worth It Anymore?", on Youtube.  It is very eye opening and touched on a lot of ideas I had been wondering about.  I highly recommend it.  It is challenging, and answered a lot of questions.  And of course, it raised many more questions.  Highly recommended and thought provoking.
