Cradle to Cradle - Remaking the Way We Make Things

by Wiliam McDonough & Michael Braungart
A thought-provoking challenge to the cradle-to-grave mindset of conventional manufacturing, this book suggests that products can be designed as 'biological nutrients' to provide nourishment for something new when their useful life is over. Their new motto is 'waste equals food' and the book itself is living proof of this view...the book is not made from paper but, rather, from plastic resins and inorganic fillers...and is therefore fully recyclable. Find out what is possible when you discard conventional thinking and truly open your mind to what makes sense in the very long run. 193 pgs.
