Better Choices for People and the Planet: Breaking up with Belongings 2.0 is a self-paced online program for people experiencing climate anxiety who want to take meaningful action through the way they shop, save, and let go of belongings.
Climate anxiety can come with a sense of helplessness, especially when it feels like only governments and big business can make a difference. This program focuses on what is within your control: everyday choices that reduce overconsumption and waste. When enough people make these changes, the collective impact can reduce pressure on the planet and help ease the feeling of being “stuck” or powerless.
Across 50 animated videos and a digital workbook, you will learn why you buy and keep the things you do and build practical skills to change those habits, including repairing, reusing, recycling, and responsibly disposing of what you no longer need. Because emotions drive overconsumption, you will also learn strategies to manage your feelings so you can stay in control of your choices.
This program is designed for the general public; if you are experiencing severe climate anxiety, compulsive buying disorder, or hoarding disorder, consider seeking support from a qualified mental health professional.
