Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by Michael Braungart, William McDonough
4.0
Really excellent design principles to challenge the way we approach our products, systems, and economy. Increasingly and urgently more relevant today than before. One line stuck out to me: “an ecosystem might actually have more of a chance to become healthy and whole again after a quick collapse that leaves some niches intact than with a slow, deliberate, and efficient destruction of the whole.” Some food for thought when considering policy that intends to mitigate climate change.
“If humans are truly going to prosper, we will have to learn to imitate nature’s highly effective cradle-to-cradle system of nutrient flow and metabolism, in which the very concept of waste does not exist. To eliminate the concept of waste means to design things—products, packaging, and systems—from the very beginning on the understanding that waste does not exist.”
More energized and emboldened than ever to pursue a career in circularity. For others similarly interested, this is a must read!
