Episode Summary: climate change impacts mental health as learning about the facts and science behind climate change can be stressful and overwhelming. So what can we do about it?
While we encourage our listeners to learn as much as possible about climate change and take action, we also sometimes experience eco-anxiety ourselves.
Kristina recounts an incident where she nearly had a panic attack after coming across a stack of plastic cups that reminded her of her potential negative impact on the environment. To manage the situation, she used Katie Byron's 4-question framework.
Leekei also provides a simple suggestion for coping with the situation she learned from Jean-Marc Jancovici, a French climate expert..
