I believe that "Cradle to Cradle" is going to be the coolest book I have ever read! Not only is it encouraging all of us to have a green lifestyle, McDonough and Braungart are presenting it in a whole new light. They are saying not to reduce waste, completely eliminate it! And to produce goods that are safely burnable instead of banning burning. I think their ideas are excellent! I feel that I am constantly in battle against people that waste and pollute. With McDonough's ideas, we don't have to fight so much. We can redesign our world so that the "non-green" people can continue living their life with non-harmful goods instead of harmful ones!
The only thing I have a problem with is that it seems beyond my intelligence to produce these goods that are so green. To me, plastics are plastics. In the book McDonough hints at negative plastics and ones that are good. Also, how could anything that burns be environmentally acceptable? I don't understand yet, but hopefully after reading more of the book I will.
I love that it isn't made of paper! How cool!!!
