Cradle to Cradle (C2C) design "is a unified philosophy that—in demonstrable and practical ways—is changing the design of the world."
"Instead of designing cradle-to-grave products, dumped in landfills at the end of their `life,` designers transform industry by creating products for cradle-to-cradle cycles, whose materials are perpetually circulated in closed loops. Maintaining materials in closed loops maximizes material value without damaging ecosystems." — MBDC.com
