In times of anxiety and global stress, maintaining equilibrium is crucial. Forests, from city parks to wild places, offer profound emotional and physical healing, extending beyond their carbon sequestration power.

Certified Nature therapy guides Sylvie Rokab and Sheila Laffey explain how "forest bathing" boosts immunity. Inhaling tree-emitted phytoncides enhances human natural killer (NK) cell activity, combating disease. Even short walks in nature provide lasting benefits.

Despite scientific consensus on human-caused climate change, political rhetoric, such as President-elect Trump's "hoax" claim, emboldens denial. This fuels public anxiety over potential fossil fuel expansion and the reversal of climate progress, a significant shift from past bipartisan support.

Climate scientist Michael Mann and cartoonist Tom Toles offer a satirical perspective, while science journalist Cristine Russell discusses the politicization of science. Psychologist Renee Lertzman explores the psychology of denial, aiming to foster common ground and solutions.

This month's call will explore whether carbon fee and dividend can bridge the Republican-Democrat divide. We'll hear from Dr. Ray Ward, a Republican state representative and family physician from Utah, who champions this policy. Earlier this year, Dr. Ward co-signed a Deseret News op-ed with two dozen other Utah Republicans, endorsing carbon fee and dividend as a viable climate solution.

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed about climate change and our ability to solve the problem? Our guest this month, environmental psychologist Dr. Renee Lertzman, says we have a window of tolerance that, once we exceed it, causes us to shut down. Turning to the tools of psychology, we can acknowledge the feelings of anxiety that can immobilize us and create conditions that allow us to show up as our brilliant selves. Dr. Lertzman’s unique and integrated approach brings together the best of the behavioral sciences, social sciences and innovative design sciences to create a powerful approach to engagement and social change.
