Green Style is a book that brings together the work of designers, architects and companies who all orientate their efforts towards sustainable development.
Until recent decades, nature was seen to be an inexhaustible source of fossil fuels. This notion is what William McBonough and Michael Braungart --authors of the book Crodle to Crodle: Remaking the Wag We Make Things (North Point Press, 2003)-- call the 'cradle to grave' effect. In contrast, the 'cradle to cradle' system proposed b9 these authors, already being applied in industrial processes, and architecture and design, advocates the exploitation of waste as a raw material in itself, avoiding the use of polluting energies. An example of a cradle to cradle manufacturing system might be sneakers that are designed to be subsequently turned into new shoes or transformed into fertiliser for our gardens.
Green Style brings together the concepts of the eco-philosophg prevalent in the 21st century, offering the reader alternative wags of living which reconcile design and aesthetics with sustainable development. This book contains ecological values and basic principles to achieve a better quality of life.
