That sounds like a hell of a stretch, frankly. I learned about issues regarding global warming and pollution and was exposed to anti-littering campaigns as a child in elementary school in the 80s. It didn't result in hopelessness or anxiety. It resulted in me not littering. And it's entirely possible I may have told my dad to not litter at some point too, if he didn't already know to do that. He seems to have survived. In spite of all this, I always have been and remain hopeful for the future.
