Young people today are faced with the inevitability of planetary impacts. Our minds have to grapple with that knowledge on top of pandemic disorientation and the other looming unknowns (what jobs will our robot overlords permit us?), all while glued to devices generating algorithmic angst.\u201d \u2014 Chris Hatch<br \/>\nThe advice, if you are feeling these things, is to just be with your feelings, to sit quietly with them, perhaps in meditation (or, better yet, take them for a walk with a friend). It is in recognising and validating what we are feeling \u2013 and then allowing ourselves to lament what we are losing through climate crises and extreme weather \u2013 that we can get to the other side of those feelings and take action.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEcological anxiety is a thoroughly sane response to planetary crisis; it may also be necessary to finding a way through the climate era. In fact, one way to understand the rise in eco-distress is a measure of breakdown in our defence mechanisms. We won\u2019t make uncomfortable changes if we\u2019re feeling comfortable.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 Britt Wray, PhD (<a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external free\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brittwray.com\">https:\/\/www.brittwray.com<\/a>)\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to engage with others in the work of transforming the world while recognizing there is no short-term fix. There may not be a \u2018fix\u2019 at all. But there is a lot we can do.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 Chris Hatch\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI think people think of climate work in general as a depressing thing. I want people to know that I\u2019m very happy to be a part of it, and I feel most hopeful when I\u2019m working for climate justice. It isn\u2019t something that has to be sad, depressing, or anxiety-inducing. I am definitely more hopeful than I was before joining [a youth environmental activist group]. Just feeling like I\u2019m doing something definitely lessens my anxiety about the future.<br \/>\n\u2014 Maria, Climate Generation\u2019s YEA!
