Eco-anxiety is more than a fear of climate change. It's the unease we feel when forests burn, oceans acidify, species vanish, and our sense of a secure future begins to fracture. These emotions - eco-anxiety, ecological grief, and even solastalgia - are becoming a defining psychological response to today's planetary crisis.
In this episode of PhotosynTech, we dive into the human side of environmental change. Why do these feelings matter, and what can they teach us about our bond with the Earth? We'll explore how individuals and communities are finding ways to cope: from digital spaces where people share their grief, to AI-powered tools that track environmental loss, to apps that encourage mindfulness and everyday climate action.
Rather than leaving us paralyzed, eco-anxiety can also spark care, resilience, and a deeper sense of ecological responsibility. By blending psychology, environmental humanities, and design, this episode reveals how technology and community can transform fear into hope, and isolation into connection.
