Eco-anxiety, my view
This post was written by a student. It has not been fact checked or edited.
Across the world global warming has been affecting people and animals by the heat, it can also attack the future of millions of little children. Climate anxiety can lead to panic attacks, loss of appetite, irritability, weakness and sleeplessness. Shockingly, eco anxiety is when somebody has anxiety about climate change and they are worried about the future. 84% of young people worldwide say they feel worried about climate change.
One of the main reasons that climate change is getting really bad is because us human beings. Since climate change is getting hotter and hotter more animals are becoming extinct. In addition some believe that the last decade was the hottest in 125,000 years ago.
In my opinion eco anxiety is positive in a way because people are aware that climate change is happening and, affecting other people but unfortunately only a tiny amount of people in the world is helping the earth. Do people know we only have one world? But people believe it is not affecting them so why worry? The planets average surface temperature has risen about 2 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius) since the late 19th century. On the other hand there are more health risks.
After researching the evidence I believe that the solution is to stop littering and throw your litter in the Wright bin. I agree that the problem is that everyone thinks that this is not a problem, but really this is a huge problem. But really this is a huge problem because more and more and more people are getting eco anxiety. Ultimately, we need to help people that have eco anxiety because you would like to have eco anxiety so we need to stop littering, avoid overload and help them take a break from climate change news. We can also just pick up litter from the streets!

I agree on the bit you said more and more people are getting eco anxiety because most of the the world thinks it is not a big deal and don’t bother to help.In my option i say that we should help the people with fear so they can gain the strength they need to help me save the people with eco anxiety. Your sentence should have topical talk and everyone less scared because of your good work!
