A what-if book that could change and possibly save the
world.
Cradle to Cradle goes through and looks at the various
manufacturing processes and points out how they can be made more eco-friendly
and eco-effective. The authors write at length of not only producing better
products, but producing products and can be used over and over again in various
forms. They also bring up the interesting idea of producing products that
doesn't create waste but creates usable by-products (a car that's by-products
are fresh air and clean water).
I believe that this is the most important book you can read
if you truly want to make a difference environmentally. The authors do an
excellent job of not only pointing out he problems often ignored (even by the
green community), they bring out possible solutions that not only would be good
for the planet, they would be good for the economy as well. The book is printed
on plastic instead of paper with the idea of upcycling once you are finished
with it. It is a bit technical but there is so much to learn you should not
pass it up.
It would make a great gift to those you know that are quite
as green as you may be.
