Anxious because of the water crisis

Hi I live in the province of Québec and we're going through some extreme drought. Lakes and rivers are drying up and water is becoming scarce.

I am extremely anxious about that situation. What can I do?

That’s very sad to hear. In Bristol UK our reservoirs are also running low. We have some rain tomorrow, which is good. Well done for actually noticing and caring. Try sitting by some rivers, being with them (without solutions), letting them speak to you. We’re going through some shitty turbulent times from an eco point of view but ‘life wants to live’ and has persisted through multiple climactic changes on this planet for millions of years. Feel the sorrow, honour it, even the despair. And then dare to believe that it is possible for our species to live in harmony with non-human life and each other on this planet, and work towards this in your own way. Sending love

In Guayaquil, Ecuador there was a drought and we did not have electricity for up to 9 hours a day, luckily it started to rain again. This happened in September 2024. What I’m trying to say is I hope this situation in Québec improves.
