How to deal with eco-anxiety

So pervasive has "eco-anxiety" become that there's now a new kind of counseling to deal with it.  Yep, it's called "eco-therapy".  One of the treatments is for the sufferer to go and hug a tree (no kidding).

I have my own form of eco-anxiety.  It's the fear of the world being overtaken by greenies.  And so I have my own form of eco-therapy.  It involves dousing trees with kerosene and lighting 'em up.

I feel so much better after a session -- particularly when I get a tree with a hugger attached.  Being the fiscal conservative I am, I find it doubly satisfying to get "two for the price of one". 

That's my eco-therapy?  What's yours?
