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.

This episode Muna is joined by Friends of the Earth's lead fracking campaigner, Jamie, and our website guru Fran. They talk through why fracking is bad for the climate, how the win happened, and how every form of activism is needed to save the planet.
