We’re coming to America!

Change the World for Ten Bucks is out now and available in all good book stores.

Yes, that’s right. It’s taken 2 years of hard slog with our friends at Chronicle Books, but we’ve finally launched an American edition of our best seller, Change the World for a Fiver.

Change the World for Ten Bucks – small actions x lots of people = big change is published this month and like the original UK edition, features 50 simple everyday actions to help people connect with and play a part in some of the most complex issues facing America and the world right now – climate change, international security, poverty, social exclusion, public health etc – all brought to life using our trademark creativity and fun, backed up by killer stats and useful links to other US organisations.

We’re hoping that Change the World for Ten Bucks will help us hit the magical -1,000,000 - copies-sold mark by our 5th birthday this September. Global sales of Change the World editions currently sit at around 900,000 - so America, that’s your target – 100,000 copies by this September. You’ll find the book in pretty much every independent book store across the States (and if they don’t have it, encourage them to order it!) as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Target, Urban Outfitters & Terrain (who are donating a percentage of their profits from sales back to We Are What We Do). You can also get it from Chronicle’s dedicated mini site www.changetheworldfortenbucks.com where you can sign up to track your actions (which will be added to our grand total) and share new ideas etc.

If you’re outside of the States, please help us by sending this link to everyone you know in America and encourage them to get themselves a copy of the new book and to check out our website to find out more about us. Thanks!

  2. Hey Alex! Thanks very much! Lovely to be here. Can you send me a pic of yourself with a copy of our book so I can add you to the blog? And tell me what simple action you would ask one million people to do to change the world? (That's the question that started the book). And maybe even your favourite action in the book? Would be great if poss! No sweat if not poss. Thanks very much and best wishes,
    Eugenie
