Citizen Media and Sustainability

The website/blog Worldchanging.com offers a range of environmental insights into different areas: stuff, shelter, cities, community, business, politics and planet.

“Worldchanging.com works from a simple premise: that the tools, models and ideas for building a better future lie all around us. That plenty of people are working on tools for change, but the fields in which they work remain unconnected. That the motive, means and opportunity for profound positive change are already present. That another world is not just possible, it’s here. We only need to put the pieces together.”

Citizen Media is included in their 21 Principles for the 21st Century posted at the end of 2007.

“Citizen Media: Who the storyteller is has a lot to do with the kind of story you’re likely to hear. That’s why citizen media is important: we need to learn to think in new ways about a wide array of interconnected and emerging problems, and to do that well, we need a wide array of perspectives on those problems, and channels for the introduction of possible solutions. In the public debate, no less than in ecosystem science, diversity promotes resilience.”
