Seattle as North America's First Carbon-Neutral City

Alex Steffen

Last week, I stood on the stage at Seattle's Town Hall and called on Seattle to become North America's first carbon-neutral city, dropping its per capita climate emissions to nothing by 2030. Since then, I've gotten a whole slew of great emails and calls from people who are thinking that goal through, and have questions. Mostly, folks have been wildly supportive, generally wanting most to know how they can help build the movement to do that. I'm a writer, not an organizer, and I don't have...

Greenest Place in the U.S.? It's Not Where You Think.

Yale Environment 360

By David Owen Green rankings in the U.S. don’t tell the full story about the places where the human footprint is lightest. If you really want the best environmental model, you need to look at the nation’s biggest — and greenest — metropolis: New York City. In 2007, Forbes picked Vermont as the greenest state, a choice consistent with conventional thinking about low-impact living. Vermont has an abundance of trees, farms, backyard compost heaps, and environmentally aware citizens,...

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...

This work pushes the boundaries of the global conversation on sustainability, social innovation and planetary thinking. Many of...

Letter from Copenhagen - Cities and Citizenship

Alex Steffen

I love Copenhagen. It's beautiful and unbelievably livable and human-scaled. People are friendly, the food is good, it's downright pleasant to walk around. Forget Denmark's climate leadership, its wind-powered economy or the stunning fact that Copenhagen is aiming to increase the percentage of total trips taken by bicycle from its current 37% to 50%: the Danes just know how to live. I just had an outstanding stay there, including a series of terrific conversations with folks I really admire:...

Controlling the Ranching Boom That Threatens the Amazon

Yale Environment 360

by Rhett Butler Clearing land for cattle is responsible for 80 percent of rainforest loss in the Brazilian Amazon. But with Amazon ranching now a multi-billion dollar business, corporate buyers of beef and leather, including Wal-Mart, are starting to demand that the destruction of the forest be halted. In the Brazilian Amazon, 80 million head of cattle — nearly as many as exist in all of the United States — now graze on land that once was tropical rainforest or the biologically rich,...

No Impact Man (the movie): A Sneak Peek

Sean Conroe

Worldchanging ally Colin Beavan -- aka No Impact Man -- has been up to some cool, ambitious and thoughtful projects. As many of you know, Colin and his family took on one bold challenge a few years ago: attempting to live a no-impact lifestyle in the middle of Manhattan. Embedded in so many destructive systems, they had to change their lives dramatically to reduce their ecological footprints. Their experiment has gone from blog to book, and now to film. Colin's a witty guy, and from the...

Transforming Paris: “Le Grand Paris 2030” as a Post-Kyoto Metropolis

WorldChanging Team

By Paul Lukez The problem of city-making today is as much about making new cities as it is about transforming our existing metropolises, especially suburbs, and edge-city developments. The suburban metropolis is relatively young. We have yet to develop coherent strategies for transforming metropolitan agglomerations into urban configurations that are ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable while creating environments that are memorable and provide architectural delight....

Mountaintop Mining Legacy: Destroying Appalachian Streams

Yale Environment 360

The environmental damage caused by mountaintop removal mining across Appalachia has been well documented. But scientists are now beginning to understand that the mining operations’ most lasting damage may be caused by the massive amounts of debris dumped into valley streams. by John McquaidLaurel Branch Hollow was once a small West Virginia mountain valley, with steep, forested hillsides and a stream that, depending on the season and the rains, flowed or trickled down into the Mud River...

Software for Sustainable Business

Agnes Mazur

Around the world, companies large and small are feeling pressure from socially responsible investors, conscious customers and government regulators to clean up their acts. The emerging sustainability software market promises to help them understand how to do that, with new tools that can help turn sustainability from a concept into a well-defined strategy. The demand for transparency in businesses continues to grow. Initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project, the Global Footprint...
