Language & Ecology 2008 Vol. 2. No. 3 Words and worlds: New Directions for Sustainability Literacy Arran Stibbe, Department of Humanities, University of Gloucestershire Abstract Sustainability Literacy is a term which is usually used metaphorically to refer to the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to a more sustainable society. This paper takes the term literally, describing an approach to sustainability literacy based on the powerful role that language plays in forming social structures, and the consequent impact of those structures on the sustainability of the society.
