Radical Collaboration

Adele Peters

There are more than 55,000 environmental nonprofit organizations registered in the U.S. today, and many more green businesses, all competing for the support of responsible consumers. At a recent event in San Francisco, a trio of green business owners suggested that this type of traditional competition may not be the most effective way to make large-scale change. They instead proposed a new model: radical collaboration. The phrase ‘radical collaboration’ has been used to describe a...

Worldchanging Interview: Shawn Frayne

Adele Peters

Shawn Frayne, president of Honolulu- and Hong Kong-based Humdinger Wind Energy, is a prolific inventor and innovator whose work has been inspired by the need for resourceful problem-solving in the world's most vulnerable regions. While working in Haiti, Frayne noted that providing wind power on a global scale would require hardware that's simpler and much cheaper than what we've got. In response, he teamed with aeronautical engineer Jordan McRae and mechanical engineer Dr. Kurt Kornbluth to...

Heirloom Design

Adele Peters

Can we live sustainably while still enjoying our stuff? Buying better stuff (and less of it), and keeping it for longer is one realistic strategy for making that possible.

Enter a new meme:...

Designing a Zero-Waste City: A Visit to the San Francisco Dump

Adele Peters

With Julia Levitt On February 20, I had the opportunity to tour the San Francisco city dump, a facility run by Norcal Waste Systems. The tour was part of Compostmodern 09, a conference sponsored by AIGA, a professional association for designers. It might seem strange to have a group of creative types clamoring to learn from the city dump, but there are numerous good reasons why their thinking is important to the waste management process. As we've often pointed out here on Worldchanging,...

Sonoma Mountain Village: Is Green Suburbia Possible?

Adele Peters

Is green suburbia possible? Forty miles north of San Francisco, on the site of a former industrial park, work is underway on the ambitious new Sonoma Mountain Village, a 200-acre development that aims to be truly sustainable. The development is America’s first to be certified as a “One Planet Community,” part of an effort to build healthy and sustainable neighborhoods in the UK, US and Canada. Built through a partnership between sustainability experts BioRegional and the developer...
