Inaam Chattha, who experienced eco-anxiety as a teen, channeled his concern into environmental activism, volunteering, and exploring the intersection of race, land, grief. Now a medical student, he authored children's books on eco-emotions and was named a Top 25 Under 25 Environmentalist by Starfish Canada.

In 2023, Chattha launched Green Mind, a national, youth-led initiative. It provides culturally grounded educational materials and a bilingual Climate Wellness Toolkit to help young people, especially from underrepresented communities, cope with climate anxiety and take action. The toolkit is used in Ontario classrooms for somatic grounding, journaling, and peer connection.

New Yorker writer Eliza Griswold and UC Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild traveled to "Trump country" to challenge stereotypes and understand environmental perspectives beyond the "red state, blue state" divide. Griswold explored fracking's impact in Pennsylvania, while Hochschild immersed herself in rural Louisiana. Both emerged with honest portraits of a misunderstood America.

The discussion also covered the U.S. fracking boom, which has made the country the world's largest oil producer. Bethany McLean's book, *Saudi America*, examines fracking's past, present, and future. However, this fossil fuel expansion conflicts with Paris climate accord goals, prompting questions about the future of energy. Learn more at climateone.org.

The Sonoran Desert National Monument, a biodiverse haven for endangered species, is severely damaged by target shooting. Despite the Bureau of Land Management's own findings of harm to wildlife, Indigenous sites, and human health, 90% of this precious area is now littered with toxic lead ammo and makeshift targets, destroying ancient saguaros and petroglyphs. The Center for Biological Diversity works to protect such vital lands and species from extinction.

As a 501c3 nonprofit, we believe human welfare is deeply linked to nature's diversity. Learn more, take action, and support our mission at biologicaldiversity.org. For inquiries, email center@biologicaldiversity.org.

Photographer and climate activist Daylin Paul delivered a powerful TEDx talk advocating for a just transition focused on equality and prosperity, not just green technology. He argues that current development models cause widespread suffering, emphasizing that global shifts like climate change demand a responsible path forward. Paul stresses that survival requires equality and peace demands justice, challenging decisions that undervalue human lives, labor, and materials.

Paul's award-winning work, including his monograph "Broken Land," visually underscores the human cost of these mindsets, with his photographs featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, and other international publications. This impactful discussion was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
