The Cradle to Cradle Concept - Waste=Food

I have attacked conspicuous consumerism several times in the recent past. Recently, I found a potential solution to a problem which threatens our future. Cradle to Cradle or C2C, is a concept based on life cycles found in nature (where there are no landfills). It focuses on using non-toxic and truely reusable materials (or truely biodegradable) to produce useful products while minimising pollution and maximising efficiency and renewable energy use. We would no longer work against nature. This film provides a very good explanation of the concept:



C2C will require some large changes, but it will address or problems of pollution, waste of natural resources, and waste storage. It is truely sustainable. One advantage will appeal to corporations and shareholders - it is possible to reduce overall costs.

Many of my designs feature themes of consumerism and environmental concerns, but I'll leave you with this one today. I think it summarizes the thinking behind C2C - food for thought.

Don't forget, you can be notified of my posts (and a few others) on twitter.

Finally, I make the switch to a 'real' blog! I've been thinking about an opening post for a while but I'm going to have to save those for another time. I'll at least go with something current for you.
Getting The Truth Out - The Liberty
Here's an excellent documentary which details the events of that day:



So what can you expect from me? Well, more of the above, I guess. Stuff you might not have seen anywhere else, but always 'a mixed bag'! I'm in a state of transition. My online presence is in a state of transition too, so you'll have to bear with me.
I've spent way too many hours on here designing unique shirts for the masses, and now I'm branching out to here (this one is very much under construction).

I'd like to end this initial post with a great little story for you - The Story of Stuff...
