Eco-Anxious?

Apparently, a new word is surfacing into our modern language dictionary. It's called "eco-anxiety," and it refers to a negative emotional feeling we get when we're not engaging in environmentally-benign activities. There's an article about this in Time Magazine* - it's a cute article, but it left me with a question: Are there any virtues to living a "green" lifestyle? Maybe if I considered the benefits of adopting these eco-friendly behaviors my eco-anxiety would be dramatically reduced.
