McDonough 4-6

"To eliminate the concept of waste means to design things-products, packaging, and systems-from the very beginning on the understanding that waste does not exist."  This quote really got me thinking about how we live our lives, and what we need to do in order to make the world a better place for the coming generations.   If we continue to not get anything done about all the waste and pollution we're creating, the world's resources will be gone, and we won't be able to do anything about it.  We need to collectively spend more money on figuring out how to make and destroy things so they're more friendly to the environment.  I never imagined that things like our shoe soles are hurting our environment as much as they are.  McDonough really got me thinking about how even the smallest, and seemingly least important, things are all collectively destroying our planet.
