The book Cradle to Cradle by William McDonough and Michael Braungart has been a good touchstone for the new green movement. Ideas like zero waste and designing products that have an almost infinite life cycle were crystalized with it’s publication. Many times during RyanIsHungry interviews, this book is mentioned. We thought we’d help expose it more by showing how the book really sparks conversation and gets the green wheels turning in our heads. Grab the book for cheap on Amazon or go to your local library and borrow it for free!

Nice review of Cradle to Cradle. You guys really covered the main discussion in the book. Two points about the book I also like which were not directly mentioned:
1. The book itself is made out of a easily reusable material (and it is waterproof).
2. This book is often sited as a “anti-recycling” book. There is a excellent discussion about up cycling, down cycling, and the problems with classic recycling (which is down cycling).
I am so on my way to the library.
