Eco anxiety is the feeling of overwhelm we have when we think about the climate crisis. The American Psychological Association’s 2017 paper's framework for dealing with eco anxiety is:
Build belief in ones’ own resilience
Foster Optimism
Cultivate Active Coping and Self-Regulation Skills
Maintain Practices that help to provide a sense of meaning
Promote Connectedness to family, place, culture & community
Reflecting on her own experience growing up as a millennial in the epicentre of the Canadian oil trade (Calgary) Ella Jean will facilitate conversations to empower Earthlings.

Episode 2: Interview with Love Ssega #WeFightForOurAir
We need everyone’s voices and everyone’s art when it comes to an issue as important as the climate crisis. This episode, I got to speak to a musician working on representing his community and making art about how it is being affected by the climate crisis, not in the future but now. He’s the original vocalist for the group Clean Bandit, a musician, producer, and singer Love Ssega. We talk about being an artist with your own purpose and agenda, what artists are called upon to do when the climate crisis is on their doorstep, and how every person can make a difference in their day to day lives to empower their own eco-consciousness. Very grateful to Love Ssega for his time. Check out his work and what we mention in these links:
