"The contributors to this volume promote ecological action through ecological communication and citizenship education. The focus on the interplay between verbal and nonverbal communication adds a fresh perspective to this still underexplored area in the field of ecolinguistics. This book is an important contribution to ecolinguistic research and education for raising ecological awareness. -- Hermine Penz, University of Graz, Austria A groundbreaking exploration of the interconnectedness between communication and ecoliteracy. Emphasizing the concept of ""con-vironment"" and introducing the term ""lifescape,"" this indispensable book proposes a transformative process of ecoliteracy that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries, providing readers with theoretical and practical perspectives on fostering positive ecological action through language, multimodality, and critical reflection. -- Antonio Lopez, John Cabot University, Italy"
