waste equals food

I recently watched a documentary on the cradle to cradle design concept called Waste Equals Food. This documentary had a great many interesting points not only about building techniques but life strategies as well. For instance in the film they redesigned a Ford plant from what looked like a near abandoned industrial park in to a lush park setting that just happened to have a car manufacturer right in the middle of it. This design concept bluntly put states; do not build or make anything that the world or people could not ingest, live in, or be disposed of in natural means. The film overall was interesting and did prove a lot of very good points about rethinking how we build our environment around us. We must consider the 100 year impact of what we create could do to the earth and by chain ourselves down the line. That plastic may be safe to ship that package in but what happens as it breaks down and goes into the water supply? To quote a famous film always be mindful of your surroundings.
