The need to scale up the transformation of the environment beyond zero
Zero isn't our hero
When it comes for mankind to
strive for a positive impact both economically and socially, it seems that towards the environment, we strive for “zero.”
"Zero is not a terribly
inspiring goal, which may explain why collectively we don’t seem to be
in a hurry to get there", points out Co-founder Dr. Michael Braungart.
Cradle to Cradle posits that mankind can have a positive, restorative,
beneficial impact on the environment. Cradle to Cradle, is a journey of discovery about materials as biological or technical nutrients and their use periods and their evolution. A framework for quality assessment and innovation: the Cradle to Cradle certification system, and today the body of knowledge resides with the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.
