Worldchanging. A User’s Guide for the 21st Century

Ich möchte euch hier kurz eine Seite ans Herz legen: worldchanging.com

Zur Seite ist jetzt auch das Buch erschienen, gestaltet von Stefan Sagmeister. s.o.

Sorry dafür, dass das ganze auf englisch ist, ich hab grad wenig Zeit..

WorldChanging.com works from a simple premise: that the tools, models and ideas for building a better future lie all around us. That plenty of people are working on tools for change, but the fields in which they work remain unconnected. That the motive, means and opportunity for profound positive change are already present. That another world is not just possible, it's here. We only need to put the pieces together.

Worldchanging. A User's Guide for the 21st Century
von Al Gore (Vorwort), Alex Steffen, Bruce Sterling (Einleitung)

This team of top-notch writers, brought together by founder Alex Steffen, includes Cameron Sinclair, founder of Architecture for Humanity, GeekCore founder Ethan Zuckerman and sustainable food expert Anna Lappe, among many others. Each chapter will offer practical answers to important questions, such as: Why does buying locally produced food make sense? What steps can we take to influence our workplace toward sustainability? How do we volunteer and advocate more effectively? How can we travel, live, work and learn in world changing ways? How, in short, can every human being help build a better future locally and globally? Illustrated with photographs and designed by Stefan Sagmeister, one of the most influential graphic designers working today, "Worldchanging" will prove that a life that is sustainably prosperous, just and democratic, dynamic and peaceful, is not just possible, it's here.
