The Eco-Anxiety Toolkit

Coping Skills for Teens and Young Adults Who Care Deeply

If thinking about the planet makes your chest feel tight, you’re not alone.

Eco-anxiety is real—especially for teens and young adults who are being asked to plan a future while constantly hearing that the future is uncertain. The fear, grief, anger, and exhaustion that come with caring deeply about the world are rarely talked about honestly, and even more rarely handled with compassion.

The Eco-Anxiety Toolkit is a deeply human, relatable guide for teens and young adults who care about the planet but don’t want to burn out trying to carry it alone.

This book isn’t here to lecture you or tell you to “stay positive.” It meets you where you are—with validation, grounding tools, and realistic ways to cope that don’t require perfection or constant action.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand what eco-anxiety actually is (and what it isn’t)

• Make sense of fear, grief, anger, and numbness

• Stay informed without spiraling or doomscrolling

• Take small, meaningful actions without overwhelming yourself

• Set boundaries with social media and constant bad news

• Rest without guilt and still care deeply

• Find hope and meaning without carrying the weight of the world

Written in a calm, honest, and shareable voice, this book feels like a conversation with someone who truly understands what this generation is facing.

You don’t need to stop caring.
You don’t need to do everything.
And you don’t need to carry this alone.

The Eco-Anxiety Toolkit offers a sustainable way forward—one that lets you care about the planet and protect your mental health.
