Alex Steffen has been the Executive Editor of Worldchanging since he co-founded the organization in 2003, as the next phase in a lifetime of work exploring ways of building a better future. In a very short time, Worldchanging has become the most widely-read sustainability-related publication on the Internet, with an archive of over 7,000 articles by leading thinkers around the world. It's played an important role in revealing formerly obscure innovations and groundbreaking ideas, thereby pushing forward the sustainability movement and assisting in the growth of its network. Worldchanging has also been integral in garnering major support for important causes, such as the post-Tsunami relief effort, for which Worldchanging raised $150,000 in partnership with Architecture for Humanity. The critically-acclaimed site won the Utne Independent Press Award in 2004, and was nominated for Webby's (the Oscars of the Net) for Best Blog and Best Magazine, as well as for Bloggies for Best Writing and Best Group Weblog.
Renewal (88 min, USA)
The first feature-length documentary to capture the inspiring stories of Americas religious-environmental movement. The film presents eight grassroots action portraits about people of different faith traditions who are being spiritually motivated to make a significant difference in how we care for the earth. Stories include evangelicals standing up against mountaintop removal in Appalachia; people of faith and scientists in Mississippi confronting decades of industrial-induced health problems; Interfaith Power and Light; and several more. (Marty Ostrow, 2007)
