  <default-description>&lt;I&gt;Worldchanging&lt;/I&gt; is poised to be the &lt;I&gt;Whole Earth Catalog&lt;/I&gt; for this millennium. Written by leading new thinkers who believe that the means for building a better future lie all around us, &lt;I&gt;Worldchanging&lt;/I&gt; is packed with the information, resources, reviews, and ideas that give readers the tools they need to make a difference. Brought together by Alex Steffen, co-founder of the popular and award-winning web site Worldchanging.com, this team of top-notch writers includes Cameron Sinclair, founder of Architecture for Humanity, Geekcorps founder Ethan Zuckerman, sustainable food expert Anna Lapp&#233;, and many others. Renowned designer Stefan Sagmeister brings his extraordinary talents to &lt;I&gt;Worldchanging&lt;/I&gt;, resulting in a book that will challenge readers to personally redefine the conversation about the future.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Each chapter offers readers new answers to key questions, such as: &lt;BR&gt;Why does buying locally produced food make sense? &lt;BR&gt;What steps can I take to influence my workplace toward sustainability? &lt;BR&gt;How do I volunteer, advocate, and give more effectively? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;From eco-building to responsible shopping, political action to humanitarian relief, &lt;I&gt;Worldchanging&lt;BR&gt; puts the power to solve problems into the reader's hands.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is like a giant catalog of all the great things happening on around the world to keep the planet (and the humans) going. Hence, this will be on my to-read list for a long time.

    <body><![CDATA[I loved this book (actually still have a little ways to go through it), because it gives a lot of great ideas about how to approach many of our social and environmental problems today.  Many of the approaches are less about technology and more about community building, which I really appreciate.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Totally biased reader of this one, but I think it is an important book and is gifted at making someone feel like if you care about urban planning you also care about nanotechnology or social entrepreneurship and architectural design for the poor.   Really splendid. ]]></body>
