Does solastalgia cut it

When Words Fail: Does a Warming World Need a New Vocabulary?: "In Albrecht’s studies, solastalgia is partly the result of feeling powerless to stop environmental damage. “So when people respond with a form of activism,” he says, “whether it's joining a social protest movement or planting trees, that negates the solastalgia.” This idea lines up with research by psychologists such as Stephen Post, who have found that volunteering, giving, and getting involved in community lowers stress levels. It seems that taking responsibility for environmental problems might actually make people more able to cope with them."

Is this the tip of a renaming iceberg?
