Eco-anxiety is real. In fact, global research shows that 50 per cent of 16 to 25 year olds report feelings of helplessness, anger, and guilt around the topic of climate change. But you know what can help turn stress into action? Talking to a friend.

Why not set aside 60 minutes for an honest chat about environmental issues and impacts during your next coffee date. Swap nature-themed book recommendations or report on fun, eco-volunteer experiences. Sharing your feelings and concerns with a pal can help inspire change and empower you both. After all, if you braved middle school together, you can tackle climate change as a team too.
