WorldChanging's 70 best stories from the past six years

Alex from Worldchanging sez, "It's our sixth anniversary today, so we're running the 70 of our most popular and enduring pieces, in the 7 categories - Cities, Shelter, Business, Politics, Planet, Community, Stuff - we cover. Some great stuff here, which leads on to other great stuff, over 10,500 pieces in all... if you want a quick reminder of the ideas Worldchanging's been exploring these last six years, you couldn't do better than this. It's sort of like How to Change the World, an Overview"

Worldchanging 101: An Anniversary Collection (Thanks, Alex!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Of course the very first piece on that site that I read (“Spinach, Feedlots and Knowing the Backstory”) contains scientifically-inaccurate information regarding E.coli O157:H7 (It’s no more prevalent in intensively-farmed cattle than it is in extensivel-farmed cattle).

I’d appreciate these kinds of articles if they weren’t driven so much by politics, to the point where actual facts fall by the wayside. It’s distressing.
