Climate Happiness: 5 Advances to Prove That We CAN Make A Difference
Uplifting pieces of climate activism news to keep our climate anxiety at bay
When it comes to news about climate change, the articles are often extremely depressing. Forests are burning up, more and more trash is being found in every corner of the earth, and icebergs continue to melt at increasing rates.
And I, like many other concerned individuals, have been contributing to this growing mass of climate anxiety-inducing articles. I’ve written that “we’re at our final climate warning” while telling other readers that “it’s really time to panic — the climate is now unfriendly”.
I know, depressing stuff.
But amidst all of these sad pieces of news, the truth is that the climate fight is not completely hopeless.
Amidst all of the deforestation and pollution, climate activists, environmentalists, and climate-conscious politicians (amongst many other actors) do achieve wins that make a huge positive impact on the world. If we don’t stop and celebrate these wins, we are going to find ourselves spiraling down the ladder of climate anxiety and, eventually, becoming paralyzed by the ‘sheer hopelessness’ of it all.
