Can you imagine a world where nothing is thrown away? Or at least a world where waste is food for something? Imagine, for example, ice-cream packaging that is not just bio-degradable within minutes of being discarded but where plants grow from within it when thrown away? Sound far-fetched? Well, in fact, this is here today. I was absolutely ecstatic to hear that the Sundance Channel is now airing a series of shows called The Green; one of which discusses the work of William McDonough and Bill Braungart authors of the book Cradle to Cradle, which presents to us a world where materials are perpetually reused to maximize their value without damaging this wonderful eco-system we live in.

I must admit, many times, I think Intelligent Design must be true, because how else could such a beautiful and perfect environment for us to live in and thrive have been created? Whether you believe that the life has evolved or billions of years or that it was created with the vision of greatness, how can anyone feel comfortable destroying it the way we do today. William McDonough and Bill Braungart have discovered the holy grail of harmonious living; a way for us to live life to its fullest potential, developing new economies and improving old, while leaving the Earth a better place.
