Eco-Anxiety - You’re not Alone | Laura Durenberger

Laura Durenberger, the passionate human behind the Reduce, Reuse, Renew blog, is helping us break down the serious and far-reaching topic of eco-anxiety. In a recent poll, The American Psychological Association found that 56% of adults in the United States believe that climate change is the most important issue facing society today. With the negative effects of climate change becoming more evident, many people are experiencing eco-anxiety, or what the APA defines as “chronic fear of environmental doom.” Laura has managed her generalized anxiety and eco-anxiety for years learning many coping mechanisms along the way. In today’s episode, Jaiko and Laura discuss how today’s climate is impacting the mental health of many, strategies for living with eco-anxiety, and how no matter what, there is hope at the end of the day!
