I did learn a few things , Well I learnt that change begins with one person, and that will influence others to as well. I said this because if we start with small steps like , reducing waste by recycling reusing and composting. Conservation of energy by turning off lights when not in use and using energy efficient sources. All this will help reduce climate change and we will be reassured about the earth’s future.

Hello, If I could meet Caroline Hickman, I would ask her about AI and how it affects people's eco-anxiety. I want to know if AI increases or decreases the fear of people getting eco-anxiety, since some worry that AI might take over the world. Also, I'd ask if she's ever experienced a serious case of eco-anxiety in her life or someone else's and how she dealt with it.
if I could meet Caroline Hickman, I would ask her two important questions. First, I would ask, "What inspired you to become a psychologist, and why did you start studying eco-anxiety?"
Secondly, I would ask for advice for someone who wants to become a psychologist like her. Being a psychologist means helping people with their emotions and problems, which is really important. I would love to know what advice Caroline Hickman would give to someone who dreams of helping others as a psychologist.
if I could meet Caroline Hickman, I would ask her: Can AI become an eco-anxiety psychologist like you? If yes, would it be a good or bad idea if there is a company for psychologists that is entirely run by AI?
If you were to meet Caroline Hickman, asking her about the impact of her advice on people's perceptions of climate change would be insightful. You could inquire about whether she observed a predominantly positive or negative impact and how she navigated any challenges or resistance in her efforts to raise awareness and encourage action on climate change.
Hi, if i could meet caroline Hickman, i would ask her how can help a person who is experiencing eco-anxiety about invasive alien species
Eco-anxiety is a reality that we have to live with so while listening to Caroline, she did mention that we are developing technology to match the climate situation we are facing thereby leaving us facing more eco-anxiety to deal with. One question I would like to ask her is; if there are technological solutions that she thinks can help deal with environmental situations or climate change.
My question for Caroline Hickman will be that would it be a great idea if physiotherapy is totally run by the AI and if yes would it be consequential or not for the people that need the physiotherapy.
What I mean by this is that would the people feel safe or not, if not would it increase the trauma that they are experiencing.
THANK YOU.
