Cradle to Cradle. Bill McDonough.

Book and concept on the governance of natural resources.


Cradle to Cradle outlines a 5-stage design and materials usage approach to sustainability. The principles should drive the way we design, develop and operate cities.


Summary

Franz Nahrada:

"Each production should end in material results that can "feed" another production process. "Upgrading" is better then "Downcycling", which means when things are not needed any more their structuredness should be preserveable and not "burned".

2. Thus every waste is "food" for another productive activity

3. Such production is not creating scarcity, but contributing to cycles of abundance."
