Reading Reflection 5!

In McDonough's  introduction to Cradle to Cradle, he explained how some things that we use today are made with toxic materials that aren't told to us when we are buying that "great chair". Some of these materials cause health problems that we are oblivious to. So, he and his partner Braungart are trying to revolutionize the way of design by helping out the environment, making materials Earth-friendly. Bill is inspired by his experiences abroad in Japan with how their homes were built with paper walls to the scarcity of resources like water. Michael created the EPEA to encourage environmental research. I think these guys are the evolution to future design because if designers of now don't consider the environment then nature and where we get our resources to make the things we need and want will run out and we won't be able to reproduce them since they come from a natural source. As concluded at the end of the intro, nature really doesn't have. People do. I couldn't agree more. We are the only ones that can make a difference!
