Exert(pic) from the book Cradle to Cradle, third post about the guy on the video!! hehe William McDonough on TED
This is a scan of the book Cradle to Cradle written by William McDonough. I placed it here, because it is beautifully explained how we humans value destruction. But most importantly it says and I quote "Lets not make a mess here and go somewhere else , even if we know how to." He is saying that even if we discover how to live on mars, lets not trash earth and then go live there to trash there too. Now I don´t know when this book came out, but could it possible haven goten this idea from the movie Wall-e? Where it deliberately shows us how we have been manipulated into what to believe and making the nvironment adapt to us and not otherwise?
Its funny how I can easily connect this with my own life. I have been told a couple of times here in New Zealand, outside my own Habitat, that I don´t respect others, and I don´t care about where others come from ,and what are their values. It isnt true. But people reach that conclusion because I simply want the environment to adapt to me, and not the other way around. Iwant people to accept me the way I am. So I barge in, yelling, giving my entire potential to show all at once who I am, hence discosidering how that environment has been kept alive. Now I havent really had problems with the kiwis, but yet with the germans, and quite frankly the brazilians, the place to which I identify it as home.Ironic is it not?
Anyways this exert talks about the way our laws prevailes the end of harmony with nature and exalts how it is great to live it without. Maybe that is how I got the acceptance in my head. Humans are influenced by their suroundings, but my culture has not taught me that, it has taught me quite the contrary,and I have fought to find some few that agree and understands, so perhaps I have unconsciously aquired this knowledge that the bussiness world that in its turn runs within all cultures, have taught through out the years.
Unconscious or not, this is knowledge, and it changes with time.It changes because we are constantly trying to grow, to understand. But we fail to understand what goes on in the present and only face fowards, we try to solve the problems ahead of us, we create problems, and perhaps this is a new approach to solve what really matters, to create solutions based on values, based on nature,based on us, not in some money making industry. Off course we must consider money to keep the economy. But it can be done!
Watch the video on TED, read the book. It is not the ultimate truth,nor is it breaking News. But it gets you thinking, and puts your linear thinking into a more circled infinite trace of thought.

Comentário sobre o video abaixo
o video fala basicamente como podemos suportar uma comunidade que pratica o desperdicio e que acredita em derrubar arvores para criar livros, construir brinquedos de crianca que as matarao no futuro, entre outros. O video considera uma solucao para que o desenvolvimento humano nao agrida o planeta mas ajude o a recuperar-se. Ele mostra novos pontos para os designers, arquitetos, projetistas pensarem sempre que estiverem desenhando/construindo novas ideias.
O que a industria segue e ja existe:
custo
performance
estética
E o que Ele adiciona a isso:
vida= inteligencia ecologica
liberdade= justica
luta para encontrar a felicidade= divercao
Ele toca em pontos como o que voce , ser humano, gostaria de crescer, considerando que crescimento é lucro. Que alem de pensar no que os bussiness man pensam pensar em
prosperidade
paz
amor
e afins
O video é muito interessante, pois relata eventos e solucoes sem parecer um missionario falando de jesus, traz logica e cooerencia. Apresenta ideias de amor mas substitui elas por valores humanos, que deveriamos mirar.
Enfim, pra quem gosta de muita informacao de uma só vez, tem o raciocínio lógico e concorda que o mundo está de pernas pro alto, vale a pena dar uma olhada!
O video engloba o capítulo tres do livro que ele mesmo escreveu: Cradle to Cradle
(personal note: lembrar de download o video)
esse talk está no post abaixo e pode ser visto tb no site TED.com
