Mission Possible. Cradle-to-Cradle Design
Description
German chemist Michael Braungart wants to save the world - but not in the way some environmentalists have in mind. Rather than promoting reduced consumption, Braungart and his collaborator, American architect William McDonough, are proposing "intelligent production" or a design approach known as cradle-to-cradle. This film traces the ideas of both visionaries and the obstacles they are encountering, particularly from the waste processing industries. Real-world architectural and manufacturing case studies are presented along with extensive conversations with Braungart and additional commentary from McDonough, while observers familiar with their work express varying opinions about it.
