WorldChanging

Alex Steffen
Alex Steffen, WorldChanging's Fearless Leader

WorldChanging and Polycot have been working hard this week to launch a redesign of the WorldChanging site to accompany the release of the User's Guide for the 21st Century, which is looking like a potential bestseller based on Amazon sales. Business Week ran a Worldchanging piece, as did Seattle's The Stranger, which describes the book as "a latter-day Whole Earth Catalog with more than 600 pages of solutions to problems such as climate change, poverty, and the AIDS epidemic." The first comment on The Stranger's post asks "Is this sarcasm? I would love it if such a book actually existed..." It does, and it's beautifully-designed, and chock full of full-color images.

The redesign makes for a more professional wrapper for the same compelling content, and it includes a section on the book including a calendar for the book tour that's under way beginning this month. (I'll be at the Austin signing, along with Alex, Sarah, and Tessa, on November 28, 7pm at Book People. We'll have a reception afterward at the new REI, just next door.)

My own role at WorldChanging has been to create a network of local blogs, beginning with the cities on the book tour. We launched the first three of many localized blogs this week, for New York, Austin, and Portland. The goal at WorldChanging has always been to extend our positive, solutions-oriented conversation and give visibility to WorldChanging projects across the globe. The network we're building will be the platform for ongoing conversation, action and design leading, through many developments in many locales, to a better, more sustainable world.
