Summary:
"While it is important to stay informed, seeing the state of our beautiful planet in the news and on social media can be debilitating and cause eco-anxiety, a fear for our environment and future. If you are overwhelmed but still want to make a change, Climate Optimism will provide a source of strength and inspiration. Climate activist, eco-influencer, CEO, and writer Zahra Biabani created this guide to help you stay positive in the face of the climate crisis. With this book, she unearths the reasons why climate optimism is so difficult to cultivate, highlights environmental 'wins' happening in different parts of the world, and shows how focusing on the positive can inspire you (and others) to keep going."--Back cover.
