Episode Synopsis

These days, the kids are stressed. I mean, how can we not be? We spent some of our most formative years navigating a pandemic, keeping up with controversial supreme court decisions, and literally worrying about world peace. And on top of that, there’s the climate crisis. It’s no wonder why eco-anxiety is a phenomenon affecting people all over the world.
With climate effects becoming more intense and frequent, many young people are struggling with mental health effects having to do with worries about ecological destruction.
Circularity is looking to do something about that. 
Kiana Kazemi and Sarah Naameh are the founders of Circularity Community, a media platform that aims to support young people in overcoming their eco-anxiety. Go to @circularitycommunity on Instagram and you’ll see a variety of eco-anxiety resources, from educational guides on the relationship between mental health and the climate crisis, to eco-anxiety stories submitted by community members.
