I came across the Recycle Plastic Challenge on the DoSomething.org website. Immediately, I was drawn to the activism piece of earning scholarships, doing something good for others, and in this case, for the environment. I am really ecstatic to receive this scholarship! It gets me one step closer to working toward my dream of going to CalPoly Humboldt to study environmental science, which will propel me to work on doing good for the Earth on a wider scale. I hope to get more people involved in conservation and environmental activism.
