Growing anxieties around the climate crisis must be acknowledged and addressed in order to create a positive change for the future of environmental policy – but where do we start? Heather White, author and founder of One Green Thing, says, “It starts with YOU.”

Join the Vermont Cooperative for Practice Improvement & Innovation as we host White for our inaugural Fall Conversation on Wednesday, October 19 at 7pm (online via Zoom). This talk/Q&A is free and open to all.

Taking on an issue as consequential as environmental mental health can feel less overwhelming when you have meaningful support. White provides a framework for impactful action on eco-anxiety through her book, events, resources, and blog. In addition to sharing a safe space safe space for her audience to cope with climate anxiety - her writing and personal assessment tools also offer the means to do something about it. The takeaway? Getting involved in eco-justice is one of the strongest coping mechanisms one can have against eco-anxiety.

Learn how to identify and harness your service super power - an empowering way to start your eco-justice journey. If you would like to learn more about the ideas and perspectives White has to offer, join us on October 19 at 7pm and check out her website at www.onegreenthing.org.
