Worldchanging is a website-cum-movement focused on one fundamental idea: we can build a better future with the tools that already surround us. This conversation plays out daily on its site, and in the pages of its recently published and critically acclaimed eponymous book.

It’s like an encyclopedia of awesome ongoing in our world. I’m only a little way through, but this bad boy is already well worth the hefty $37.50 price tag. It’s filled with great ideas for improving our homes, our eating habits, and our communities. As their motto goes: “Another World is Here.” So stop waiting and start making here, everywhere.
Thank you for the recommendation bobotang. This is my new holiday gift for those in need AND those who can appreciate and share it’s awesomeness with others.
I’d definitely agree with bobotang about the WorldChanging book. Not only is it a good read in itself, and a chance to support a great website, but it’s a good conversation starter.
My mother-in-law was browsing it over Christmas and was very taken with the contents. We got her a copy and I suspect she’ll be passing along some of the ideas to her 4th grade students.
Once I started reading WorldChanging I have to force myself to put it down, it is almost addicting. It is amazing how relevant the topics are to our everyday lives!
The issues covered in the book are so important and make so much sense. Why are these issues not covered in our local and national media?
I thought $37.50 is a bragain for all that this book contains. EIther way, get the book and read!
The book sounded great for a moment and I quickly began researching it to see if it was worth its salt, but it quickly lost credibility as I noticed that Al Gore helped write the book. I’m not kidding when I say that Al Gore’s famous movie is over 70% bullcrap and 30% fear-mongering (there is statistical evidence from the United Nations to back up the former and my my personal prejudice to back up the latter).
With that being said, on a scale of 1 to 10 how liberal is this book in terms of the atmosphere created of we the people VS. the ”evil” carbon companies. Or do I have it wrong and this book simply lays out common steps that average people can take everyday using common sense and technology to solve our problems rather than using politics to achieve re-igniting the Kyoto Protocol and the Fairness Doctrine debates.
