The City Council's draft long term plan is totally unequipped to deal ever worsening anthropogenic collapse. The more people who submit their feedback however, the more we can pressure them into making the best choices for people and the planet. Thats why we put together this handy submissions guide!

If you are interested in helping out with some research, head to the link in our bio and fill out the survey!

This work is to help UC researchers who are looking at the role of eco-emotions (like anger, anxiety, and enthusiasm) in predicting mental health outcomes and levels of burnout among climate activists across Aotearoa.

Whilst the climate crisis worsens, we need to normalize and educate people on eco-anxiety and what we can do about it, and this research is an awesome gateway to that!
