estoy leyendo el libro Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the way we make things by William McDonough & Michael Braungart...esta de puta madre, pongo unas sentences:
+this book is not a tree. unlike thepaper with which we are familiar, it does not use any wood pulp or cotton fiber but is made from plastic resins and inorganic fillers. this material is not only waterproof, extremely durable, it is also a prototype for the book as a "technical nutrient".
+"Technical nutrient", that is, as aproduct that can be broken down and circulated inginitely in industrial cycles.
+consider this: all the ants in the planet taken together, have a biomass greater than that of humans. ants have beenincredibly industrious for millions of years. yet their productiveness nourishes plants, animasl and soil. Human industry has been in full swing for little over a century, yet it has brought about a decline in almost every ecosystem on the planet.
+thousand of tiem the amount of energy needed to fuel human activities hits the surface of the planet every day in the form of sunlight.
+I realized that design is a signal of intention.
+Michael esplained his idea of creating a biodegradable soda bottle with a seed implanted in it.
+typical garbage, with its mixture of industrial and biological materials, was not designed for safe burning.
+city like a forest, cool and quiet.
+"eliminate the concept of waste" not reduce, minimize, but eliminate the very concept by design.
+We see a world of abundance, not limits. in teh midst of a great deal of talk about reducing the human ecological footprint, we offer a different vision.
+Nature doesn't have a design problem. people do.
+it attemps to work by its own rules, which are contrary to those of nature.
+modern industries still operate according to paradigms that developed when humans had a very different sense of the world.
