Welcome to the first ever climate month series on Progressive Pockets. As we dive into this series, let’s start by acknowledging a feeling many of us are having right now. According to the American Psychological Association, a staggering two-thirds of us are experiencing climate anxiety.
In today’s episode, let’s explore practical strategies for reframing our approach to climate change. Let’s talk about how to shift from despair to action, and how to maintain the energy and resilience needed for the long haul. Whether it's rethinking our personal habits or advocating for systemic change, this episode covers it all.
