Don’t Look Up, the Climate Crisis and Self-Care (Summer Special)

This Summer Special covers the movie Don't Look Up (Netflix), putting our energy back into climate action after the movement has lost momentum during the pandemic and avoiding burnout when coping with the reality of the climate crisis. It is hosted by Nick from Freedom of Species and his partner Katie.
