About Alex Steffen

Alex Steffen (born c. 1968 in Oakland, California) is an American futurist and advocate of 'bright green environmentalism' who writes and speaks about sustainability and the future of the planet.

The fact that we haven't compellingly imagined a thriving, dynamic, sustainable world is a major reason we don't already live in one."
