"Reduce, reuse, recycle," urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less to be able to minimize harm. As William McDonough and Michael Braungart argue in their provocative, visionary publication, however, this process perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" developing model that times to the Industrial Trend and casts off just as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as throw away, much of it toxic. You will want to challenge the idea that real human industry must inevitably harm the natural world? they ask. In fact, you will want to take aspect itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms to be able to make another tree, yet we do not consider its plethora wasteful but safe, beautiful, and impressive; hence, "waste equals food" is the first rule the book packages forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrition" that properly re-enter the environment or as "tech nutrition" that circulate within closed-loop professional cycles without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (because so many "recyclables" now are). Elaborating their concepts from experience redesigning from carpeting to corporate campuses, the writers make a thrilling and viable case for change.
