For our first book club, POWHR read Earth Emotions: New Words for a New World by Glenn A. Albrecht. We made a handout so you can look at many of the emotions Glenn writes about in the book, and take a look at some more resources for processing difficult, and good, emotions around climate and ecological change. Enjoy!
