Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things

A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism. “Reduce, reuse, recycle” urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, “cradle to grave” manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world?

Environmental Ethics and Sustainability

Environmental ethics is the branch of philosophy that takes a broader perspective of relation of human beings not only to the living species but also with the non-living surroundings. It impacts various other disciplines such as ecotheology, environmental law, environmental sociology, ecology, ecological economics and environmental geography. Sustainability is the ability to sustain the present state of the environment for years to come. While ethics form the rules sustainability tries to implement them for the protection and improvement of environmental condition. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of ethics and sustainability of environment, and its applications. This book studies, analyses and upholds the pillars of environmental ethics and sustainability and their utmost significance in modern times. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers including environmentalists, ecologists, conservationists, policy makers, professionals and students.
