"Addressing plastics can feel overwhelming. Guilt, shame, anger, hurt, fear, dismissiveness, and despair abound. Beyond Strawmen moves beyond "hot take" or strawman fallacies by illustrating how affective counterpublics mobilized around plastics reveal broader stories about environmental justice and social change. Inspired by on- and offline organizing, Pezzullo engages public controversies, policies, and headline-making advocates in Bangladesh, Kenya, the US, and Vietnam through hashtag activism, campaign materials, and her podcast, Communicating Care. She argues that plastics have become an entry point into contested environmental politics, including carbon-heavy masculinity, carceral policies, planetary fatalism, eco-ableism, greenwashing, marine life endangerment, pollution colonialism, and waste imperialism. Attuned to plastic attachments, Beyond Strawmen shares how unsustainable patterns of the plastics-industrial complex are resisted through imperfect but impactful networked cultures of care"--

Addressing plastics can feel overwhelming. Guilt, shame, anger, hurt, fear, dismissiveness, and despair abound. Beyond Straw Men moves beyond ";hot take"; or straw man fallacies by illustrating how affective counterpublics, mobilized around plastics, reveal broader stories about environmental justice and social change today. With attention to both on- and offline organizing in the Global South and the Global South of the North, Phaedra C. Pezzullo engages advocacy campaigns, public controversies, and policies through cogent analysis and interviews with headline-making advocates in Bangladesh, Kenya, the US, and Vietnam. She argues that plastics have become an articulator of crisis-an entry point into the contested contemporary environmental politics of carbon-heavy masculinity, carceral policies, planetary fatalism, eco-ableism, greenwashing, marine life endangerment, pollution colonialism, and waste imperialism. Attuned to plastic attachments-and detachments-Pezzullo illustrates how readers can resist unsustainable patterns of the plastics-industrial complex through imperfect but impactful networked cultures of care

At this critical crossroad of climate crisis, environmental advocates have turned to projection mapping (also known as 'guerrilla projections', 'digital graffiti', etc.) to foster an ethic of care. This article focuses on two 2015 projection mapping events: one in Vatican City and the other in Paris. Although imperfect, projection mapping may orient attention, transform locations into public spaces for political engagement and cultivate collective imaginaries. By rethinking environmental media between climate crisis and care, we may define the agenda of this journal as not only centred on critique but also regenerating creative communication for a just and vibrant future.

"The Sixth Edition of the award-winning Environmental Communication and the Public Sphere is the best-selling comprehensive introduction to the growing field of environmental communication. This groundbreaking book focuses on the role that human communication plays in influencing the ways we perceive the environment. Phaedra Pezzullo and Robert Cox examine how we define what constitutes an environmental problem and how we decide what actions to take concerning the natural world. The updated and revised Sixth Edition explores recent events and research that have emerged since the last edition, including: fast fashion, global youth climate strikes, biodiversity loss, disability rights advocacy, single-use plastic ban controversies, COVID-19, and more"--
