Eco-Anxiety and Other Things I Can’t Recycle

Is the planet burning or is that just our anxiety again? (Spoiler: it’s both.)

In this chaotic, cathartic episode, the hosts unpack eco-anxiety, corporate greenwashing, and the emotional spiral of trying to save the world with a reusable tote. From personal sustainability fails to pop culture hypocrisy, we dive into why recycling your oat milk carton won’t fix ExxonMobil—but hey, it might ease the guilt.

We’re talking:

  • Climate change dread and the mental toll it takes
  • Greenwashing and why your “eco” soap might be lying
  • Celebrity climate offenders (looking at you, private jets)
  • The myth of the individual solution
  • The tragic comedy of trying (and failing) to be sustainable

Come for the climate crisis, stay for the emotionally compostable content. 🌱
