Yesterday I recieved an email about the release of the new World Changing book. From the email, it’s…
A big compendium of tools and models that together illustrate a picture of the sustainable and just future we hope to create, it’s called WorldChanging: A User’s Guide to the 21st Century. At 600 full-colour pages, it was an enormous collaborative effort between more than 50 authors around the world. it’s also printed on recycled paper and the carbon impact of creating it - and its tour - have been offset by wind power.
The tour will be stopping by Toronto November 14th, 2006. Looks like as good a reason as any for me to make the journey to the big city.
Our Toronto stop is shaping up to be one of the biggest of the entire tour. It’s been really amazing to see the way all our Canadian colleagues have come together to create what looks to be an absolutely phenomenal evening of big ideas, worldchanging innovation, and community celebration. Ed Burtynsky, the noted photographer (and WC board member) and Ron Dembo (of Zerofootprint) will be joining editor Alex Steffen on stage to present an evening of Worldchanging ideas on November 14. Folks from the Art Gallery of Ontario will be creating an installation. Various DJs will lay down some sounds while we meet and mingle and party until late. This promises to be one of the most exciting events of the year. We hope you’ll plan to attend.

[...] I was very excited when I heard that the World Changing Book release tour was coming to Toronto. I have only been back to the city once since making the escape a few months back so I have enjoyed the morning getting caught up with the hustle and bustle. Although I can’t say I really miss the busy, go go go nature of the place that much. [...]

I received a copy of World Changin and I am sorry that I missed the Toronto Launch.
Great Book! I highly recommend it.
