An episode from Friends of the Earth podcast series, How to Save the Planet.

With Australian fires dominating the news, alongside floods in Indonesia and the shocking devastation to The Amazon last year, it's no wonder many of us are feeling more than a little on edge about the environment. But with terms like eco anxiety gaining traction, what does it really mean? Why do we feel it? And what should we do about it?

This episode we speak to journalist Emma Beddington and psychotherapist Caroline Hickman about their own feelings of stress around the climate emergency, how they deal with them, and why feelings of despair might actually be a good thing. For you, and the planet. 

This week your resident climate campaigner Muna is joined by Isobel from Friends of the Earth's video team in her search for answers, reassurance, and change.
