WorldChanging

This is what you should buy for the person with everything and even those without everything. I don't normally write about products on this blog but I really feel that everyone should read this book.

On Tuesday night, I attended WorldChanging's book launch/event stop in Toronto where I picked up a copy of the organization's first book, WorldChanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century. Both the event and book are inspirational. Like the website, the publication is dense with a plethora of ideas and reasons for how and why we can live better and created a more sustainable, healthy world. Don't be intimidated by the 600+ pages, it is beautifully designed and easy to read.

I was in Nicolas Hoare (my fav bookstore) and I saw that very same book and it looked really cool. But, ironically, for a book about changing the world, it had a ton of excess packaging.

Ah! You're back! Very good. See you around, I hope.

Mike: according to the folks at WorldChanging, the slipcase you're referring to is "printed on recycled post-consumer waste and is no more packaging then any other book jacket on a hardcover book. Additionally, the entire production of the book was offset with wind credits, making it a carbon-neutral endeavor."
