In my last post I presented some remarkable products made from bamboo. It seems as though these are days when we will begin to see more of these types of alternative and sustainably produced and recyclable materials replacing more commonly used toxic and harmful materials. Manufacturers must begin to invest in producing products using materials that are not destined for complete disposal in landfills or incinerated. We cannot continue to accept the belief that these resources are disposable and in endless supply!
For a more in-depth perspective on the basic tenets of re-visiting and re-creating the concepts of design so that we support and encourage more sustainable production, pick up a copy of Cradle To Cradle, by William McDonough & Michael Braungart, printed entirely without the use of "paper!"
Question: Are you more likely to support a company that makes concerted efforts to locate and incorporate sustainably produced & sourced materials to replace less than ideal materials?
