When you have zero real problems in your life you could get “eco anxiety”, it will gone after any real problem when you actually get real things to care. For example when your city is bombed by ballistic missiles, belive me, “eco anxiety” will be the last thing you will think about.
I have been a part of a climate change movement since I started my working life. I was impassioned by BBC Learning English when I was little, and I wanted to change the ballgame. My parents had compassion for us younger generations, and my father said, "What a mess we have left for our children!"
Try to glue yourself to some big oil taker, this way you will definitly solve “eco anxiety” when tanker go into open sea 😂
What a nice surprise to hear another podcast from you both because I thought you both have been taking a break from work. Thank you!
I have been experiencing this since 2 years and didn't know there were more people like me. Like I have been fearing many times that increasing deforestation would reduce oxygen levels in air making it difficult to breathe. Thanks for sharing this article.
Thank you BBC Leaning English...🙏
What a nice podcast ! Thank you for your everyday working !
Thank BBC learning English for this useful lesson
I compassionate for others who is trying to learn English
Wow, this is exactly why I sometimes feel a bit stressed studying English through the news. In order to learn English, there's a lot of vocabulary I need to know, not just about the climate but also about world affairs, poverty, and all sorts of social issues. Yet, the more I watch the news or read news articles, the more often I find myself feeling sad. I really wish the world was filled with only cheerful news (especially to help me learn English).
My friend is kind, he had a strong compassion with the poor. He has seen many people suffering from poverty. There for, he joined the local charity movement to help them. He and his associates want to change the ball game, help these people to have a better life. Their activities and enthusiasm inspired people, make them more impassioned about doing kind work. What a good man!

I have eco-anxiety when I use water. I stopped taking a bath 🛁 only a shower due to I have a feeling that I spend too much water 💦 Also I’m trying to separate garbage in my house. To be honest, it’s a challenge in my country where people don’t think about it 😢
thank you BBC!!
I relate Thank you for this
Thank you for sharing a beneficial video😀I have a little bit eco-anxiety. Thanks for this video, I could learn that there are many people who are worried about our future. I'm also concerned about wildlife. They don't have something useful like air conditioner, fan, and so on...
I want to feel hopeful about the future.
As Sarah watched the ball game from the stands, she couldn't help but feel an impassioned sense of compassion towards the players and their movement on the field. It reminded her of the hard work and dedication that goes into their working life as athletes.
your ball game & the ball game used in the video is different
I checked Cambridge Dictionary, and in this context, 'ballgame' needs to be written as one word to avoid confusion with the general meaning of 'ball game', which refers to 'any game that is played with a ball'. Am I right?
you have to write it as two word, but it's usually used in phrases "new ball game" or "a whole new ball game"
Nice！I've learnd some useful kownledge of English!
One health researchers can make a great part to overcome The Ball Game of eco anxiety. I My self are highly impassioned for this and wish to join A Movement & Make a Dream work for the Upcoming Generation.

Here is my summary:
Today, if we switch on TV or read a newspaper, we are bombarded by bad news about the environment. Climate change not only negatively affects the earth's health but also humans' physical and mental health. A growing number of people around the world are experiencing something called eco-anxiety, involving feelings of grief, fear, guilt, and hopelessness about the future of the planet.
According to Judy Ling Wong, a veteran environmentalist, she feels tremendous compassion for young people, who have suffered from the environmental consequences from the previous and current generations. However, Judy is also optimistic about science since we have advanced more accurate technology to combat climate change. Basically, science has changed the ball game. Moreover, knowing what to help the planet actually impassioned the young, to feel strongly motivated to take action.
More about Judy Ling Wong, encourages young people to join environmental movements and the green workforce, contributing to the sustainable development of the world. This allows them to protect the environment for their entire working life.
Yes, I do.
I don't have eco-anxiety. Climate change and pandemic can not make me depressed and scared.
Do you have a text file?
Sorry the page not found I can't get the text

It's so difficult to understand slang. Sometimes it's difficult for mother tongue too.
Yes, it can be difficult! Different English slang will be used depending on where the speaker is from. It can be fun to learn slang, in case you hear it spoken, but you can always use standard English yourself when you are not sure.

I have a big problem in learning the English language, although I try a lot, but I fail quickly, so I ask for help from those who have experience in this difficult language. I want to speak, and I have a passion and determination to pass that language..I am an Arab young man living in Egypt and writing that comment through the translator. I want the right way to learn, even if it is through conversation with those who have mastery of that language..Please help
Hi! We can practise English together. My English level is A2-B1 and it will be awesome if we can share our knowledge with each other :)
@@myxqoz
I am really glad that you showed my help, but how can you do that and what should I do to make it happen
You should listen English conversation more. Try to learn basic grammars and 3000 common words. Be determined and confident with yourself. You will nail it
@@CA-nu5qy
I already do that, but to no avail, and I try, but some suggested having conversations with humans and practicing the language by using it with others, but I did not find
I’m from Morocco. I have the feeling of anxiety when it comes to not writing anything to my friends or to myself when I start talking about what I had been going through. But I keep finding out that all those issues come from negative thoughts that… you know, we already know where it comes since both of us are Muslims.
But worry not, you can go through out of any problems. Just keep the intention for yourself, otherwise, if u lose it, you won’t go ahead.

i thought eco stands for economy which also makes sense though
“Econ” stands for economics, that might be what you’re thinking of.

No, I’m not celebrating New Years. People who do must be in denial. I can’t get to sleep without pharmaceutical anesthesia. That’s the worst time of day. People are not afraid enough.
