But Hong Kong climate activist Eugenia Chow Cheuk-yin says that rather than surrendering to climate anxiety, one can channel their fears into doing something productive for the earth.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">\u201cOne really grounded way of doing this is by getting into the community and volunteering on a farm,\u201d says Chow as she stands among crops at a farm on the outskirts of Fanling, in Hong Kong\u2019s New Territories, that grows string beans, chillies, herbs and more. Bugs and ants swarm on the ground, but she does not seem to mind.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The 25-year-old works as a project associate at Zero Foodprint Asia \u2013 a Hong Kong-based organisation focused on helping farmers work more sustainably \u2013 and is also behind the Instagram platform @eugreenia, which has garnered more than 260,000 followers. There, Chow posts videos and infographics on relevant climate topics and offers career guidance for students interested in conservation and environmental activism.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-mv7ovk e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-bjn8wh e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chow stands among crops at Farm Soilution, a regenerative farm in Fanling in Hong Kong\u2019s New Territories.
