Today my mobilist carnival #96 edit got a mention on the popular and award-winning web site Worldchanging.com (thanks Emily!).

WorldChanging covers global innovative solutions, ideas and inventions emerging today for building a sustainable, livable, prosperous future. From consumer consciousness to a new vision for industry; non-toxic homes to refugee shelters; microfinance to effective philanthropy; socially responsible investing to starting a green business; citizen media to human rights; ecological economics to climate change; it’s a really great resource! Bruce Sterling calls it “The most important web site on the planet.”

This summer I started reading the book Worldchanging: A User’s Guide for the 21st Century, brought together by Alex Steffen, co-founder of Worldchanging.com. FYI: It’s a big hardcover book – not a book you want to take while travelling, but it’s great having it at home for evening and weekend book reading and great as a resource for your children. Here’s what Al Gore says about the book (he wrote the foreword)

“To build that future, we need a generation of everyday heroes, people who – whatever their walks of life – have the courage to think in fresh ways and to act to meet this planetary crisis head-on. This book belongs in the library of every person who aspires to be part of that generation.”

The Worldchanging book contains over 600 pages, divided into 7 sections which include a vast range of topics. The book is packed with the information, resources, reviews, and ideas that give readers the tools they need to make a difference.

What are you waiting for?
