Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by William McDonough and Michael Braungart
A clever book printed on plastic rather than paper about sustainability. How can we re-think our behaviour?
This book is far heavier than a traditional book - Is this sustainable?
There are interesting ideas in this book but it confuses as much as it makes useful points and it doesn't really offer a clear way forward, but it certainly makes you think. For instance, natural indigo dyes create mutagens, so what is the alternative?
An index would make this book a more useful reference book. I think there is poor page layout too with very large margins around the text. More words per page, less plastic so it would be lighter...
Other than those criticisms there is a lot to think about in this book.
