Sorry if I didn't describe that very well, I lost track of what I was typing and didn't bother to give up or fix it.

Bill brought a huge stack of books to Cape Cod when we went on vacation, he had about 20 of them. He showed me that... Even though there are cars available that are "Less Bad" by saying they get approximately 35 MPG, it's still not good. So it's like this, -- Even though we're slowing down our consumption of fossil fuels, it's like instead of heading 50 MPH in the wrong direction, we're heading 20 MPH in the wrong direction. We need to start heading in the right direction.

Designers and architects inherently seem to be great leaders. Just look at the dad from the Brady Bunch.

I couldn't name many heros off hand, for there are many in this world of ours. William McDonough is one of my ecological heros. The book Cradle To Cradle was so good I bought a few extra copies for friends. The texture of the book pages itself as a recycled polymar is worth experiencing.William McDonough gives me hope.

C2C should be integrated into all curricula in all engineering schools.
