Defending the Cradle

I would like to take this week's blog to refute most of my classmates' writings.

Starting with my respectable friends of "We Tigers."
Alex explained his interpretation of Cradle to Cradle as a vision "just that, an ideal," I would to beg to differ, this book is not a set of future visionary day dreams, but a workable, feasible, plan that has already begun to work.
John, Sirjac and Alex all brought up the ticking egg timer ending in Earth's destruction....there isn't enough time. I would argue back with 4 points, 1) [a biggie] we have NO IDEA what amount of time we have been allotted to solve this problematic and outdated way of life, 2) the "cradle to cradle" design concept is not one of slowing down and postponing our degradation, but reversing it, bringing back what we have lost, regaining time, 3) this "eco-effective" approach is the most well thought out plan we have yet to come across. Stopping the world's women from having children (good luck with that), creating high-tech urban hot spots where only minimal amounts of space are dedicated to human use and the rest preserved as "wilderness" (suuurrrrre), convincing AMERICANS they have to stop shopping (don't waste your breath)!! Mr. McDonough and Mr. Braungart again and again outline the practicality of their idea, its feasibility, and its overarching please-ability. A lot of which can be achieved with resources and technologies we already have. This brings me to my fourth point, innovation breeds innovation. In taking what we have and know now and creating, we will also create room to improve as we always have and continue to do as a race. Saying we "do not have time" is defeatist and an easy escape to give up and move on, "we don't have time to waste" is encouraging and not accepting of our "time-limit". We must start now, we must "prefer ecological-intelligence" as these two men have told us and we must work together.

I have attached a photo of proof, a photo of realistic ingenuity, a photo of the answer. (and John the ink-water solution can be seperatd and the ink can be used again).
