ecophobia

ecophobia
a) Fear of one’s home.

Many of our teenage hippies are in the streets today because they suffer from ecophobia.

b) A feeling of powerlessness to prevent cataclysmic environmental change

No wonder the mood of the moment is ecophobia, the fear that the planet is increasingly inhospitable.
