Inspirational, interesting and informative highlights from the web. Cradle to Cradle Design, William McDonough
Architect and designer William McDonough asks what our buildings and products would look like if designers took into account "All children, all species, for all time." A tireless proponent of absolute sustainability (with a deadpan sense of humor), he explains his philosophy of "cradle to cradle" design, which bridge the needs of ecology and economics.

Letter to Prime Minister Rudd

Dear Prime Minister, Congratulations on your win. It is encouraging that Australians have voted for a change in direction and for a brighter future than we might have expected under John Howard. We support your stated priorities of dealing with climate change, water shortages, health and education, small business and food prices in a socially inclusive way. Unfortunately, Howard and Lennon’s truncated ‘approval’ process for a pulp mill in Tasmania is contrary to every one of those priorities. |
