Hope Matters

A book for people who believe the planet is screwed, aka those with eco-anxiety who are paralyzed with environmental despair, or who are caregivers to children who feel there is nothing we can do to save the world.According to the American Psychological Association, eco-anxiety is causing PTSD and depression on a mass scale.Contrary to the prevailing environmental doom and gloom regularly reported by the media, the author provides an evidence based argument that hope for the environment is not only warranted, but essential to addressing climate change, biodiversity loss and the full suite of environmental crises. Kelsey started the popular #OceanOptimism social media campaign, which went viral with more than 90 million tag shares.
