discussed some of our initial findings of this project at the 2008 Conference on Communication and the Environment (COCE) at DePaul University in Chicago. We are thankful for the reviewers for selecting our panel for presentation at the conference, Barb Willard for scheduling our panel as a plenary session, and the audience for providing excellent critical questions and feedback. We also had the opportunity to discuss this project in an article in Environmental Communication: A Journal of Nature and Culture (vol. 2, 2008, pp. 237–245) under Stephen Depoe (editor), Barbara Willard (guest editor), and Phaedra Pezzullo and Steve Schwarze (praxis section coeditors). Although the article is significantly different from the material in this book, we have received permission from the journal to reprint portions of the article. The journal can be accessed at http://www.informaworld.com.
Fourth, we want to thank our family and friends, who personally supported us through this project.
Finally, we are grateful to all activists and advocates engaged in personal and collective efforts to curb climate change.
