Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This large guide is arranged like an encyclopedia, with entries on subjects such as how we grow and share food, the management of water, and approaches to solving problems as a whole system. Its purpose is to show readers how they can respond to environmental pressures in their own communities and elsewhere in the world. Rather than presenting a single argument, it gathers examples of ideas and tools that already work and invites readers to adapt them to their own circumstances. The result is a practical reference for anyone who wants to understand the connections between design, resources, and everyday choices, and to take part in changing them.
