Resilient Environment

Eric's Section: Cradle to Cradle

C2C - challenges you to…. 

Imagine a world where our buildings are like trees: They cover their energy needs by harvesting solar power, produce food and oxygen, create habitat for other species and change with the seasons.

Imagine a world without pollution and waste: Products are made from materials that are beneficial for humans and their surroundings.

Imagine a world where humans can be glad that their actions benefit those around them and the constraints to reduce, minimize, and decrease according to the current "Cradle to Grave" paradigm are a distant memory.

This is the world that Cradle to Cradle (C2C) offers. And it is a world of design that starts with the intention to apply
conventions found in Nature:

  • Waste equals food

  • Use current solar income

  • Celebrate diversity
