Capitol Watch
This UConn student suffers from eco-anxiety and is fighting for the future of the planet
Eco-anxiety is real.
Harry Zehner, a junior at the University of Connecticut, feels the effects of climate-related dread every day. It's mixed with anger at older generations for what he perceives as complacency.
If the number of environmental protests in recent months is any indication, he's not alone.
Zehner sits down with Opinion editor Leslie Cory to talk climate change, eco-anxiety and generational differences on a special Capitol Watch podcast.
