Clean water, air, and soil. Wild and open spaces. Uncontaminated foods. Healthy bodies and communities. These are some of the scarce resources that come to mind when thinking about environmental issues. And yet there is another limited resource, one that is intricately tied to the environment and yet often not recognized as such: voice. While there is often a cacophony of people talking, what is missing is the acknowledged voice, the one that is given an audience, allowed to be impactful and transformative in its assertions—the one that is heard. As Couldry (2010) warns, voice is in crisis. We daily witness the devastation aided by the loudly expressed agendas of a small minority of people who are able to dictate the environmental outcomes for the majority. As we maintain in this book, as voice goes, so goes the environment.
