Eco-anxiety or climate anxiety reflects our worry about the impacts of climate change on the environment and our health, and now the term encompasses a generalized anxiety about the future. Recent surveys show that nearly half of young people say that eco-anxiety interferes with their daily life, and four out of 10 are hesitant to have children of their own because of global warming. But what if these emotions are a message from our future selves? In this TEDx talk, Heather White encourages you to time travel to meet your future self. Her talk helps you tap into these climate emotions and consider them as a call to action to envision a plastic-free future, and to listen, act, and change the conversation from gloom and doom to what’s possible in bold, creative, and beautiful ways. Heather White is the founder of OneGreenThing.org and author of Eco-Anxiety: Saving Our Sanity, Our Kids & Our Future (HarperCollins 2024), 60 Days to a Greener Life (HarperCollins 2024), and One Green Thing (HarperCollins 2022). Heather directed environmental education advocacy at the nation's largest conservation organization, served as executive director to an environmental health watchdog in Washington, DC, and led the nonprofit partner to Yellowstone National Park as President and CEO. Heather worked on Capitol Hill as energy and environment legislative counsel to U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) and a presidential campaign staffer and recount attorney to Vice President Al Gore. She has served as adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Tennessee College of Law. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

What is Impact Storytelling™? https://www.rustleandspark.com/story Does your company talk about needing to... - drive sales, boost sales, increase sales? - grow fundraising, increase fundraising, increase participation? - improve culture, increase brand compliance, empower employees - drive, increase, or improve employee engagement?

BAW works to engage students in their classrooms, at school functions, community events, and playgrounds. We believe that offering books to children in different environments instills a consistent message that reading is not just school work- it’s a way of life! Books Are Wings was founded in 1998 by Elizabeth M Dennigan, her family, and a group of dedicated volunteers committed to literacy, reading, libraries, and fun. New and “gently” used books were collected from local friends and neighbors and distributed at day care and community centers. In 2003, BAW incorporated into a 501 (c) 3 non- profit organization. With active Board members, and dedicated community involvement, BAW committed itself to children, community service, and literacy. Unique book parties began at local libraries and parks, giving children the opportunity to experience the joy of reading by choosing their own books. Today, BAW works with over 100 volunteers a year and distributes an average of 60,000 books annually in cities and schools around the state of Rhode Island.
