| Description | Environmental Book project: Worldchanging has previously authored two books on environmentalism and sustainability. In 2010, the Board approved accepting a one-time contribution of $330,000 to fund a pass-through grant to Ed Burtynsky (former board member and internationally recognized photographer) for an environmental project on water issues. The project will study the socio-economic and environmental impacts of water useage in the 21st century. The project will result in a definitive photographic documentation (book) of this hotly debated subject with essays by leading environmental experts. Worldchanging will be acknowledged as the project sponsor on printed works, websites and promotional material but the intellectual property will remain the property of the project. | Description |
