Eco Anxiety- How Climate Change Impacts Women’s Mental Health and Simple Steps for a More Sustainable Future

When I think about my daughter’s future, I also worry about whether she’ll have access to necessities like clean water, clean air, fresh foods in the upcoming years. These worries can be categorised as eco anxiety and probably you also have such thoughts. The question is what we can do for a sustainable earth for our kids.

Did you know that anxieties related to the environment are more common in women? Or that there are many other ways by which environmental change impacts women’s mental health disproportionately? Do you want to know how? And how we can be a little kinder to earth everyday?

All this is discussed in today’s episode with Bhagyashree Jain, the founder of The Disposal Company. She was named in the coveted Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list of 2024 for her pioneering work in introducing Plastic Neutrality in India and creating sustainability solutions.

Bhagyashre’s venture is helping brands become plastic neutral. The Disposal Company helps companies offset plastic they have created and used by recovering or removing an equivalent amount from the environment and recycling it.
