WorldChanging = LifeChanging

In my sparse spare time, I’ve been making my way through WorldChanging: A Users Guide to the 21st Century. This life-changing book is a compendium of state-of-the-art sustainability solutions, and should be required reading of anyone who will live a substantial portion of their lives during the 21st century.

WorldChanging thinks way outside the green box, bringing together ideas on how to turn technology, social networking, crafting, and everybody’s everyday lives into agents of positive change for the environment, human rights, and social justice. They also have a really forward-thinking blog on related topics.

The book was designed to be attractive, but with minimal environmental impact. As disclosed in a full environmental benefits statement, it was printed on 100% recycled New Leaf paper saving 3,866 fully grown trees, and the production was powered by wind power, resulting in a savings of over 360,000 pounds of greenhouse gases.

Check it out at your library, pick up a used copy at your local independent book seller, buy it online at Powell’s, and share it with your friends and neighbors.
