The CDIM helps confront climate denial and advance ecojustice. And it is more straightforward than it might seem to be. Here are the components. Working on any or all of them promotes climate denial awareness and ecojustice literacy.

• identify climate denial in a text or information source (Climate Denial Text)

• explore different contexts that promote climate denial (historical, economic, psychological, geographic, political, media) (Denial Contexts)

• consider if a “story-we-live-by” relates to this text (Stories-We-Live-By)

• read and evaluate the denial text with critical literacy tools and questions (Critical Literacies+)

• discuss the denial text and stories-we-live-by with the environment and civic dialogue in mind (Eco-Civic Practices)

• consider how one’s ecological philosophy affects one’s understanding (Ecosophy)

• determine how to move from destructive “stories-we-live-by” to more beneficial “Stories-To-live-by”
