Eco-anxiety is when we feel worried or scared about problems in the environment. Things like climate change, sea levels rising, too much garbage and pollution in the air can all be things that make us feel anxious, like we are carrying a weight in our hearts. Eco-anxiety can make it difficult to think of the future, or to not be able to help the environment. It's important to remember that you are not alone in feeling this way, and that lots of people feel eco-anxiety. Taking some time to learn about how to help the environment, or doing activities that make you feel at peace with the world can help you feel better.
