Here's a link to WHO's guide for "unhooking from difficult thoughts and feelings".
https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240003927
It includes links to audio. It can be helpful for the experiences you describe

I made a PDF flyer with a QR code for
WHO's "Doing What Matters in Times of Stress: An Illustrated Guide" (How to unhook from difficult thoughts and feelings),
in case anyone would want to print some out and staple them to a local kiosk, at a local college campus for example. It would be better to learn about this earlier in life than later, imo.

The WHO has a guide for "unhooking from difficult thoughts and feelings".
At one point it says "You cannot stop these thoughts from arising. They are normal and natural. But it is not so helpful to get hooked by them." and then goes on to explain some simple practices to help unhook.

Here's more detail about how it was tested. https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/2022-apri...

Also free and relevant - a link to WHO's guide for "unhooking from difficult thoughts and feelings". There's audio you can download. It's not even an app.

Also,
WHO's guide for "unhooking from difficult thoughts and feelings" which is not an app, is free, and has downloadable audio exercise guidance.
https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240003927
It's one of the best things of its type I've seen.

Yes, according to WHO. https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240003927

I like to say 'When people drink they relax, and when they relax, I relax. It works out fine." It does depend on the group.

It's common to find people on https://shutupwrite.com/ doing the same.

The World Health Org has an illustrated guide that includes a more validated *how* practice to reduce stress. Their terminology is different. They discuss how to unhook from distressing thoughts and feelings. It seems like a better approach.
https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240003927
There are audio exercise clips as well, in multiple languages. https://terrance.who.int/mediacentre/audio/MSD/WHO-AUDIO_Str...

About 93% of global warming goes into the surface layers of the ocean, cutting of circulation of nutrients, which has led to seaweed ecosystem and harvest reduction or collapse in different coastal regions (Australia, California,SE Asia for example). https://www.climatefoundation.org/ has developed a system to upwell water from beneath the thermocline over the past fifteen years. They have shown more than 3x growth over controls, and are looking to scale up and grow kelp offshore and in the open ocean.

That slight colour blockage, or the tint those solar panels have is helpful.
There are two reasons. One, plants grow better under red light. Red light has the highest efficiency for photosynthesis in plants, that why LED grow lights are tuned for certain wavelengths. Plants use blue light to know what direction to grow.
And for a certain category of tints or dyes that are fluorescent, additional red light.
Luminescent solar collectors have an embedded dye with molecules that fluoresce, that give off even more red light.

Some of that work about possible solutions has been done by Paul Hawken. His Project Drawdown book is at least an organized and reasoned list of 100 possibilities. I attended a talk about one of them - marine permaculture arrays.
This is a body of working knowledge developed over the past thirteen years, with new inventions being developed and deployed for growing kelp in the open ocean. What's proven is the ability of wave, solar, wind powered pumps to upwell cold water hundred of meters beneath the ocean surface, and irrigate kelp, doubling the growth rate. This is important because 93% of global warming goes into the surface layers of the ocean, cutting of circulation of nutrients needed by life.
What's proven is that seaweeds and kelps can sequester more carbon per square meter per year than the tropical rainforest. The idea is put submerged, autonomous satellite-assisted kelp platforms in the open ocean at scale, to farm for food/feed/fertilizer/fish or just sink the kelp into the depths to sequester the carbon for hundreds of years. (per UN research)
There is now a kelp coin, which might someday play a role in emerging carbon sequestration markets. At the moment, it is a fundraiser, crowd- funding style to help raise capital to get these to hectare scale. https://www.climatefoundation.org/kelp-coin.html This kelp coin is new, just a couple of weeks out.
It might take a decade or more to get to a gigaton of carbon sequestration. But it is also about food security and ecosystem regeneration. If you like short videos for information, try https://www.climatefoundation.org/2040-make-a-change.html

There are silent writing meetups too.
