Underneath It All Show Notes
Season 3, Episode 3 - Managing Mental Health with the Climate Crisis
The climate crisis becomes more apparent each day, and while on the CDT, Grizel faced many of its effects. From rising temperatures, to endless wildfire smoke, it’s hard to not feel its effects on our mental health as well. In this episode, Grizel talks with her good friend Ben Bishop, who is an agroforestry researcher at the University of Missouri studying agroforestry systems and tree crops. Through his research, he hopes to expand the utilization of trees and woody shrubs as both profitable crops and as a strategy to off-set greenhouse gas emissions. They discuss ways to stay hopeful, how to navigate the connection between mental health and the climate crisis, and about the different ways we can all make a change.
