To read the news is to be filled with existential dread. Will the town you live in be ravaged by bushfires? Will your children spend another summer inhaling hazardous-quality air?

For some, this devastating fact spurs action, evident in Extinction Rebellion, Generation Greta and climate “strikes” across the globe, but others report feeling powerless, disconnected or “stuck” in the face of unmoving governments, and many experience a crippling level of guilt (Did I bring my keep cup? Have I packed my reusable straw? Can I go abroad for a holiday?), or a debilitating sense of doom.
