What can you do as a single person? Do whatever you can.
If you can plant a tree, plant one tree.
If you can pick up a plastic bag, do it.
Little by little. If everyone does this, it will be wonderful.
If nothing else, at least pray.
Think that everything surrounding you the ceiling of your room, the sky, the trees, the birds are absorbed in the remembrance of God.
This will create very special vibrations, a special atmosphere.
You will be able to create a unique atmosphere if not in the world, at least in your room, in your family, in your community.
When all our efforts are in vain, and the climate crisis will not be solved in our generation, or the next, I remind myself of the Indigenous wisdom. This SevenGeneration philosophy is integral to Haudenosaunee life:
"The Peacemaker taught us about the Seven Generations. He said, when you sit in council for the welfare of the people, you must not think of yourself or your family, not even of your generation. He said, 'Make your decisions on behalf of the seven generations coming, so that they may enjoy what you have today."
So I invited my classmates to share their experience on eco-anxiety, and here are their responses:
CAITLIN MCCONAGHY
I often feel intensely sad and disappointed when I read news headlines regarding climate disasters, biodiversity loss, and inaction by many global leaders; however, I'm far from feeling hopeless. I usually try to seek out news or other media that discuss the positive action being taken in the climate arena. Often, this means listening to the TED climate podcast while I go for a walk or run, as being outdoors is my main mode of mental health care.

Neelam Shivhare explores some of the great ancient texts of India on motherhood, compares the behavior of Kaikayi and Yashoda, and realizes the importance of removing fear from our hearts in order to nurture our children.For young women like myself, who are future mothers, I trust we are on the path of becoming selfaware and brutally honest with ourselves. We are creative beings, never forgetting the gifts with which we have been bestowed— the love and tenderness, natural instincts, and intuition to feel the right path. It all lies in the mysterious meanderings of the heart. Are we really listening to our hearts, or confusing the bombarding information on social media with reality?
