WorldChanging is a bright green environmentalist online magazine and blog which covers ecological, humanitarian and design issues through "solutions-based journalism" covering "tools, models and ideas" for building a better future and eschewing traditional news and criticism. It is divided in to seven sections: stuff, shelter, cities, community, business, politics, and planet.
Launched in October, 2003 by Alex Steffen and Jamais Cascio, it has over the years featured a global team of writers including Geoff Manaugh. Jon Lebkowsky, Dawn Danby, Cameron Sinclair, Ethan Zuckerman, Sarah Rich, Chad Monfreda, Regine Debatty, Jeremy Faludi, Nicole-Anne Boyer, David Zaks, Micki Krimmel, Emily Gertz, Joel Makower, Dina Mehta, Seth Zuckerman, Hana Loftus, Craig Neilson and Alan Atkisson. Many of these writers were part of the Viridian Design Movement. In January 2005, it won the Utne Independent Press Award and was later nominated for a Webby Awards for best weblog and for best magazine, and a Bloggie award for Best Group Weblog. Viridian theorist (and Wired columnist) Bruce Sterling has called Worldchanging "the most important website on the planet." At its peak it was, according to several sites, one of the largest blogs in the world. It was nominated for a Webby for Best Magazine in 2007. It includes a network of local blogs in several U.S. cities and Canada.
Worldchanging is a non-profit organization headquartered in Seattle, Washington. It is run by Alex Steffen, the executive editor, and currently lists Jeremy Faludi and Sarah Rich as contributing editors.
The group published Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century, which covers much of the same ground and has a foreword written by Al Gore.
"Worldchanging" is now also more widely used as an adjective to describe efforts or plans which combine innovation, collaboration and sustainability, or even as a descriptor of cutting-edge alternative products, groups or people.
