We see a world of abundance, not limits. In the midst of a great deal of talk about reducing the human ecological footprint, we offer a different vision. What if humans designed products and system that celebrate an abundance of human creativity, culture, and productivity? That are so intelligent and safe, our species leaves an ecological footprint to delight in, not lament?

Cradle to Cradle is like good gardening; it is not about "saving" the planet but about learning to thrive on it.

But from our perspective, products that are not designed particularly for human and ecological health are unintelligent and inelegant - what we call crude products.

Everything else is designed for you to throw away when you are finished with it. But where is "away"? Of course, "away" does not really exist. "Away" has gone away.
