The coalition extends that conversation, ensuring that solutions and stories are shared widely by trusted voices who can reach diverse communities.
Narrated by renowned meteorologist John Morales, Third Degree Burnout uncovers the hidden connections between personal burnout and the climate crisis, revealing them as symptoms of a larger socio-economic meta crisis. With world-class animation, engaging interviews with over 20 experts, and playful humor woven into thought-provoking skits, the film breaks down complex ideas into something accessible, relatable, and impactful.
