A crisis of knowledge and understanding, stretching back for centuries, has crippled our ability to respond to the current ecological crisis. However, the triadic semiosis of CS Peirce, cast as a common language of nature, supports the development of shared, multi-voiced narratives that engage our emotions and imagination. These narratives develop into new habits, and the cultivation of personal and societal qualities lead to transformative actions that reflect our reconnection with the rest of nature. An ecological civilisation follows naturally from our feelings of reconnection.
