Thanks for sharing these survey results! I was happy to respond myself and I’m heartened to see that there is strong representation from 45+ since I fall into that cohort. Your intergenerational message is coming through in the newsletter and I appreciated it in Generation Dread as well. I think the majority wanting a 50/50 split of focus on internal and external activism is a testament to the recognition that climate mental health is so integral to planetary health. GenDread and Generation Dread have been an important contributors to helping us all work toward sustainable, regenerative approaches to our engagement. Thank you!
I would like to see you doing stories regarding the rationalizations young people come up with to justify having biological offspring even though these potential parents understand that industrial society collapse is likely less then a decade away.
Have you seen the film The Climate Baby Dilemma? If you’re Canadian you can watch it on CBC.ca There’s also a chapter in Britt’s book Generation Dread called “Baby Doomers” that will give you some insights. I also recommend the Climate Change and Happiness podcast that has some episodes that relate to your question (you can read the descriptions of the episodes on the website) https://climatechangeandhappiness.com
