Solutions Over Stress Conference

Join us on October 26th, from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM PST for the free, virtual Solutions Over Stress Conference co-organized by EcoEdu and Youth for Earth!

We are both youth-led organizations working to bring more awareness to the climate anxiety epidemic, which we as youth often deal with.

Issues like fast fashion are also more important to address now than ever, especially with the culture of overconsumption.

We’re tackling climate anxiety and exploring how sustainable fashion can shape our future through this conference. Hear from an inspiring panel of speakers, including environmental advocates, fashion innovators, and young leaders making a difference.
