Oceans of Hope
The climate is changing. Oceans are warming. The weather is becoming more extreme. These are events that impact each of our lives every day. It can’t be up to scientists, politicians, and activists to make a positive change. Sustainability and climate conscientiousness can become a part of our individual lifestyles. Making a difference isn’t about the protests you go to or the money you donate, though those are great, it is about the hope and the habits that you have in your daily life! My name is Jordan Ferré. I am a graduate of Stanford University’s Earth Systems Program where I studied Environmental Science with a focus on Marine Science and Science Communication. I created this podcast to make climate and marine science feel more like a lifestyle issue because it is! I am excited to chat with you about the habits that I am forming and how I am working to incorporate being a climate-conscious citizen into my daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly routine. I am also excited to chat with sustainability and environmentalism trailblazers, experts in the field, and regular people like you and me about how they find hope for the future of our environment. Hopefully, my journey & insight from the collective of hopeful environmentalists will inspire you to do the same!

Happy Monday Oceans of Hope! After a bit of a hiatus while getting used to life as a graduate student I am making the effort to bring the podcast back! Today’s episode we talk about Mental Health, sustainability, and how it can be hard to balance being active and aware of how we are impacting our planet and being mentally healthy. I am not a mental health professional, so please seek advice from a professional if you are worried about your own mental health, but these are just a few tips and tricks to avoid burnout and deal with mild climate anxiety.
