Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 11 Dec 2023 - Eco-anxiety

 

Eco-anxiety

(a.k.a. climate anxiety)  A debilitating worry about the current and future state of the environment on the earth, that fortunately can be used by the Ministry of Truth as motivation for immediate advocacy.  Since the Green movement of the 60s, this has become an increasingly prevalent mental health issue that can be leveraged for good.  By constant media exposure to the devastating impacts of climate change, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity, overwhelmed and disheartened citizens can be successfully molded.  It is okay if they feel like they don't want to have children, buy homes, or plan for a long-term future, since to equitably share our planet, extravagant consumer expectations must be properly reduced.
