began as a search. A patient, steady effort to find the most exemplary people on earth, understand what drives them, and map the quiet force that runs through their lives. What emerged wasn't a list but a landscape — an archipelago of examples, each one distinct, yet connected. A set of lives that, together, offer a way to navigate the world.

Chngmkr is a collective, decentralised map. We ask leading figures across the world to share the inspirations who shape their action — their own list of living examples.
Marseille, France
Ex-sailor Simon Bernard founded Plastic Odyssey, using a ship with recycling tech to fight ocean pollution and train communities worldwide.
Chicago, USA
French-Japanese inventor Cesar Jung-Harada created Protei, an oil-cleaning robot ship, and runs MakerBay to develop eco-tech solutions.
Samsø, Denmark
Led Samsø island to 100% renewable energy, creating a global model for community-powered sustainability.
Geneva, Switzerland
Rob Hopkins founded the Transition Movement in Totnes, England, inspiring communities to build sustainable, resilient futures together.

Chngmkr is for those who feel out of step with the world, moving through the fog, unsure where to turn. It's a quiet reminder that others have walked similar uncertainty, and found their way forward.

Kadeya was born from a simple but urgent question: how can we reduce single-use plastic in our daily lives? Driven by this mission, Kadeya has created a revolutionary closed-loop system for bottled water. By using reusable bottles and smart vending machines, Kadeya ensures each bottle is sanitized, refilled, and returned to the cycle, eliminating waste from the ground up. More than just a water company, Kadeya is reimagining hydration for a sustainable future, challenging the norms of convenience with a bold vision for zero-waste solutions. Each bottle returned to a Kadeya machine is a step toward a world where single-use plastic is a thing of the past.
