The recent headlines in climate news aren't comforting.
From the prediction that July will be the hottest month in the past 120,000 years to the implications of the collapse of the Atlantic Ocean current, it can feel overwhelming.
This type of news can cause us to feel eco-anxiety.
A natural reaction is to believe that nothing can be done and give up.
Instead we can take it as a sign that it is time to get more involved. Find a local environmental group in your community and lend your time. Reach out to your elected representatives. Engage your friends in a climate conversation.
As Jane Goodall reminds us that “what you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
