People who speak up about the unpleasant realities of environmental degradation, capitalist exploitation and the growth economy are likely to be criticised for 'negative framing' - while corporations undermine truths by casting them as social constructs with no objective validity. Environmentalists increasingly conform to the idea of telling nice stories using abstract metaphors rather than seeking to identify, specify and name systemic problems and their causes. Psychological pressures faced by scientists and activists, and personal strategies for coming to terms with and combating harsh realities, are themes that run through this issue of Environmental Values . This reveals the necessity of radical activism and the expression of a more general concern over ethics and justice as counters to the stiflingly narrow hegemonic economic discourse that prevails in official circles.

面对真相还是活在谎言中：从众、激进主义和激进主义

谈论环境退化、资本主义剥削和增长经济等令人不快的现实的人很可能会因“负面框架”而受到批评——而企业则通过将真相塑造成没有客观有效性的社会建构来破坏真相。环保主义者越来越倾向于使用抽象的比喻来讲述好故事，而不是寻求识别、说明和命名系统性问题及其原因。科学家和活动家面临的心理压力，以及适应和对抗严酷现实的个人策略，是贯穿本期《环境价值观》的主题。
