Cradle To Cradle: Remaking The Way We Make Things
By William McDonough and Michael Braungart
“This book is not a tree.”
Thus begins Cradle to Cradle , one of the most important books ever written on the subject of sustainability. Grappling with the question of how we put environment first while allowing commerce to thrive, Cradle to Cradle is a call to a higher environmental consciousness, and should be read by everyone on the planet.
Available at your local library or Amazon.com.
