Worldchanging 101: An Anniversary Collection

WorldChanging Team

Worldchanging is six years old today! To celebrate our sixth anniversary, we've created a collection of what you might think of as the Worldchanging canon: pieces that have had enduring popularity and that we think say something important. And it turns out the two overlap pretty well. After compiling a list of our most popular articles we noticed that a high proportion of our most read, forwarded and linked pieces not only represent groundbreaking work, they also highlight many of the core...

The Solar Forest: Charging Station And Shady Spot For Electric Cars

WorldChanging Team

by Christa Morris The approaching age of electric vehicles presents us with a secondary, albeit significant, challenge: building accessible recharging stations with renewable energy. While we’re at it, can our parking lots be shady, please? One solution may already have arrived. In Neville Mars’s dreamy design, appropriately dubbed the Solar Forest, large, leaf-shaped photovoltaic panels on branching “trees” will provide both shade and power-up plugs for electric cars relaxing...

Attention Philanthropy 2009

WorldChanging Team

At Worldchanging, one of our three main missions is to practice attention philanthropy. Attention philanthropy is a gift of notice. In a noisy world, deluged in advertising, overrun with PR flacks and crowded with the superficial, one of the biggest barriers to success for a small, good idea or noble enterprise can simply be getting noticed in the first place. Attention philanthropy is all about shining a light on good work that's worth supporting. It is grantmaking that deals in access,...

Ask the Planet: Introducing Children to Biomimicry through Music

WorldChanging Team

Nominated by Hesseltje S. van Goor My grant goes to the Biomimicry Institute and their new children’s CD, Ask the Planet and its sister-website, AskNature.org. As Bioneers Radio Show host/producer Neil Harvey describes it: a musical celebration of nature’s genius … designed to connect children to nature, create a sense of awe for the environment, and teach them about the concepts of biomimicry. Coming at a time where climate crisis has gained international recognition, the field of...

What Would Nature Do?

Sarah Kuck

Fresh Ideas from Janine Benyus on How We Can Learn from Nature When we emulate nature to solve human problems sustainably, we are practicing biomimicry. This discipline is one of our favorite ideas here at Worldchanging, as we see its great potential for helping the human-made environment function more like the natural environment. Biomimicry guru Janine Benyus discussed this idea and more with designers and architects at last week’s Living Future unconference in Portland, Ore., where she...

Worldchanging Interview: Mara G. Haseltine

Julia Levitt

Mara G. Haseltine, a globally recognized environmental artist, has been outspoken for years on the issue of restoring the population of Crassostrea Virginica, New York's native oysters. In late April, she unveiled a collaborative piece of public art that she created with students in her "Oyster Gardens" class at The New School in New York City. The New School Midden (pictured at right) is a swirling array of glinting oyster shells, arranged to look like the movement of tidal waters. Haseltine...

Coming Soon to a Body of Water Near You: Pollution Sniffing Robot Fish

Sarah Kuck

If it looks like a fish and moves like a fish -- there's a chance it may be a robot. British scientists are ready to introduce five pollution-sniffing robots into the northern Spanish port of Gijon, according to Reuters. If this trial is successful, the scientists hope the seal-sized robots will be used in lakes, rivers and seas throughout the world. The scientists used biomimicry principles to design the carp-shaped robots to ensure energy efficiency, which will allow the robots to...

Bioneers 2008

Jeremy Faludi

This past weekend was the Bioneers conference, now in its 19th year. It was every bit as hippy as people say it is, but it had some fantastic speakers, including Janine Benyus, Ray Anderson, Bill McKibben, David Orr, Naomi Klein, and others. Also, it was perhaps the first activist conference I've been to, which was interesting to experience. (Most of my time is on the design & engineering circuit.) My personal favorite part was that the day after it, the Biomimicry Institute had a...
