This is an episode of TED Climate we think you’d enjoy, a podcast from the TED Audio Collective, which is back for a new season. We know today's youth have inherited a big, unprecedented climate problem to solve -- and the eco-anxiety to go with it. Gen-Zer and activist Clover Hogan shares why the path to climate action starts with the one thing you can control: your mindset. She explains why challenging the stories that keep you feeling powerless can help you take the first step to protecting the planet for generations to come.

You can spend your whole life taking climate action… but what about disposing of your body after death? What’s the most planet-friendly way to plan a funeral? Caleigh leads Candice through the carbon costs of traditional burial and looks for more climate-friendly alternatives.

Where should you start with greening your home, and how do you get it subsidized?

If you frequently fly, then you might want to offset your carbon emissions. But what does that even mean, and how do you start? As a frequent flyer herself, Caleigh talks with Candice about the ways you can offset emissions in your personal life and through carbon offset projects.

Not every conversation about climate change is agreeable. On this episode, Candice facilitates a discussion between Caleigh and her mother to learn more about how people can have a productive relationship even if they disagree on a political issue that’s pretty central to their identities.
