Navigating Climate Anxiety

For many of us, when we think about the future of our environment, the picture isn’t as bright as it used to be. Instead of envisioning beach vacations, new life milestones, or family gatherings, there’s a shadow looming that the physical world as we know is changing—and not for the better. Fires ravage entire countries, floods sweep away cities, our food sources are depleting, deforestation happening, drilling/fracking and the air grows heavier with pollutants. The anxiety is real, and it’s something many of us feel deeply. This phenomenon, of "climate anxiety," is becoming more widespread, particularly among younger generations who feel the weight of an uncertain future on their shoulders.
