The environmental communication discourse at the academic institutions advocates ?episodic? formation as the driving force behind transformation of attitudes and behavioral preconceptions. This episodic formation is aimed at incentivizing change by creating Intimacy to the incident by linking cause and consequence to the individual citizen instead of to society as a whole.
