Water scarcity is a reality today and it's going to worsen with time.
What happens when our most vital resource becomes a source of stress? In this episode of 'Force of Nature', Clover Hogan dives into the complex relationship we have with water and how it fuels eco-anxiety. She kicks off the discussion with Beze Gray, a passionate water rights activist, who sheds light on the looming issue of water scarcity and its far-reaching consequences.
Beze's perspective challenges the Western notion of owning water, emphasizing that it's a resource that belongs to no one but is essential to everyone. Next, young voices from around the globe share their personal struggles with eco-anxiety linked to water issues, painting a vivid picture of how deeply interconnected our mental health and environmental concerns are. Clover then turns to Caroline Hickman, the podcast's resident psychotherapist, who offers insightful ways to cope with these overwhelming feelings.
Caroline likens water to the human ego, suggesting that respecting water's natural flow could help us better respect ourselves and each other. Adding another layer to the conversation, Frantz and Oya from P&G discuss innovative solutions for water reuse and how businesses can play a pivotal role in mitigating future water conflicts. Their conversation highlights the potential for turning eco-anxiety into a driving force for positive change and innovation.
The episode wraps up with a call to action: it's time to acknowledge water's spiritual and cultural significance and heal our fractured relationship with nature. If you're feeling anxious about the future of our planet and want to understand how you can make a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
