As a young person, the impending threat of climate change has always been the cause of worries, so much so that psychologists have coined the term ‘climate anxiety’. According to psychologists the cure for this problem is action.

The responsibility of climate action has constantly been placed on the shoulders of individuals. I have tried reusable bags, composting, thrift shopping, taking shorter showers, even veganism - though it feels like nothing I do makes much difference. Many of my generation suffer from a sense of hopelessness, as these individual actions feel inadequate, when everyday, the climate crisis worsens.
