Waste = Food

Waste = Food is a documentary that showcases the ideas and work of William McDonough and Michael Braungart. The film explores the theory of ecologically intelligent design and green design. Their main points are to one day have manufacturers' waste be completely recyclable in the environment or become biodegradable food for the biosphere. In the film, we learned that their are major corporations that are adopting these ideas, fueling an ecologically inspired industrial revolution. Methods that will allow for this include using completely non-toxic and sustainable production methods. Corporations that are doing so include a Swiss textile factory, Nike shoes, and Ford. This is a great step in the right direction for us so that we can continue to manufacture products at a high level, but actually leave a better 'footprint' on the world that we live in. McDonough is an architect that has environmental designs where buildings function like trees, and actually become a part of the nature surrounding it, instead of hurting it.
