Today is Worldchanging’s 5th birthday. We want to offer them a celebratory cheer. Why? because we love who they are and what they do.

In a world that increasingly lurches from one crisis to the next, it’s refreshing to adopt the Worldchanging perspective. They’ve created a unique venue “to find, discuss and imagine the world’s most innovative solutions to the planet’s most pressing problems.” It’s what Alex Steffen, Worldchanging’s co-founder and Executive Editor, likes to call “solutions based journalism.” If you want to learn about how to change the world and keep learning about how to change the world, and if you value thoughtful discourse, Worldchanging is a great place to hang out.

Along the way they’ve received the Utne Independent Press Award, the Green Prize for Sustainable Literature and numerous nominations including Webbies for Best Magazine and Best Blog, and Bloggies for Best Writing and Best Group Blog. And, in their spare time, they published a best selling book entitled Worldchanging: A Users Guide To The 21st Century.

Alex, from all of us at Nau, happy birthday to you and the entire gang at Worldchanging!
