How You Can Fight Climate Anxiety
Hello hello! Hope you’re having a wonderful Friday. I’ve released another video that I’ve wanted to make for a while now all about climate anxiety. I hope that it’ll give you some clarity and tools for moving through the difficult emotions of the climate crisis. You can find the video below as well as three quotes and three links I found illuminating during my research process.

— The New Republic
