Organisations and Individuals

Many people experience a range of negative feelings, such as grief, guilt, anger and powerlessness, when learning about the current state of the natural environment and predictions for its future. Remember that by making the choice to learn and take part in learning about sustainability and changing behaviour you are already playing a positive impact. For support and for further explanation around Eco-anxiety see below.
