Inspired ideas for a sustainable future

Alex Steffen, Founder and Executive Editor, WorldChanging.com

WorldChanging is based on the premise that a bright green future is not a distant possibility, but a growing reality. That the motive, means and opportunity for profound positive change are already present.

WorldChanging is a news service for a Bright Green Future. It has become the most widely-read sustainability-related publication on the Internet, with an archive of over 7,000 articles by leading thinkers around the world. As a collector of ideas about how to change the world for the better, Mr Steffen will present possible and tangible futures based on today’s discoveries and applications.

Alex Steffen co-founded WorldChanging in 2003. Prior to founding WorldChanging, Mr Steffen worked as an environmental journalist on four continents. That work led him to provide strategic consultation to over 50 environmental groups and foresight projects. Mr Steffen was also the editor of WorldChanging’s first book, WorldChanging: A User’s Guide for the 21st Century (Abrams, 2006), a 600-page compendium of writings from over sixty noted leaders around the world.
