Human civilization, especially with its exploitative and unsustainable development activities of the last two centuries, has made environmental issues and climate change an unavoidable discussion for the public. Various ecological issues and crises are increasingly threatening the world, including Indonesia. Along with the development of information technology, the internet, and digital media, discourses related to environmental issues are becoming increasingly prominent. However, environmental communication, especially framing, is often misunderstood as a mere transmission of information, persuasion, or manipulation. The term 'slacktivism' also emerged to address the new trend of lazy activism that relies only on clicks and social media performances. This article is a literature study with a descriptive qualitative method that aims to comprehend how environmental communication and framing can be applied as praxis to address political-ecological issues. Researchers found that strategic and effective environmental communication is an integral process that is not only able to increase public awareness and understanding but also moves the community to engage more and actively participate in bringing about change. The use of social media also plays a role in gaining attention, support, and a large-scale and massive network of social-environmental activism.
Beriringan dengan maraknya aksi protes dan perbincangan mengenai isu-isu kesetaraan, juga bertepatan momentum Black History Month 2017 di Amerika Serikat, Nike--salah satu perusahaan pakaian olahraga terbesar dunia merilis sebuah kampanye bertajuk “Equality” melalui sebuah video hitam-putih berdurasi 1 menit yang diunggah melalui kanal YouTube resminya yang dibintangi oleh nama-nama besar seperti Michael B. Jordan, LeBron James, dan Serena Williams. Menggunakan pendekatan semiotika Roland Barthes, dengan metode kualitatif interpretif, peneliti hendak memahami makna dan pesan dalam video tersebut dengan mengungkap mitos yang dikonstruksi oleh pembuat video (Nike) berdasarkan simbol-simbol dan sistem signifikasi yang ada. Disertai gagasan-gagasan Jean Baudillard tentang iklan dan konsumsi sebagai pendukung teori utama, peneliti berhasil memahami bahwa melalui kampanye “Equality”, Nike berupaya menciptakan mitos dengan melambungkan nilai olahraga sebagai aktivitas yang lebih dari sekedar adu fisik ataupun menang-kalah. Nike hendak menciptakan mitos bahwa olahraga mencerminkan nilai-nilai kehidupan sosial seperti sikap saling hormat, persaudaraan, dan kesetaraan yang kemudian mitos ini dapat mempersuasi masyarakat untuk melakukan konsumsi.
