<p>’Tis the season to celebrate what is good, what is kind, what is holy. This sentiment tends to get lost amidst the frenzy of the perfect stocking stuffer or best gift to place under the Christmas tree (or Hanukkah bush). And this sentiment tends to get lost when we’re talking about environmentalism.<span>

<p> When I first started teaching environmental communications to students at the <a href=”http://www.journalism.ku.edu/” target=”_blank”>University of Kansas</a>, this was my weekly refrain: “Whatever you do, please don’t tell people to ‘go green’ because it’s the right thing to do … appeal to pocketbooks, explain the science, capitalize on the trend, but do not emphasize a moral imperative. Please.” </p>
<p> Now, I feel differently. <br />
