Perhaps you've all gotten familiar with William McDonough's work, but was thinking further about a simple plan that would guarantee sustainability within the Industrial economic system: Firstly, put all corps (that produce physical goods) under a B Corporate model (bcorporations.net), and then enforce a simple rule: every output from their factory must be food (or an input) for some other part of the system (http://www.mcdonough.com/cradle_to_cradle.htm). Personally, I believe it would be acceptable to allow a 1% rule, whereby 1% of waste can be remediated through the soil (by disintegration and/or dilution). Such a simple rule is easy to understand and not so impossible to implement. MarkJ pangaia.sourceforge.net
Thank you once again, for so many interesting ideas and sharing them. ________________________________ De: Mark Adam <[email protected]> Para: P2P Foundation mailing list <[email protected]> Enviado: Domingo 18 de noviembre de 2012 22:06 Asunto: [P2P-F] Sustainability Perhaps you've all gotten familiar with William McDonough's work, but was thinking further about a simple plan that would guarantee sustainability within the Industrial economic system: Firstly, put all corps (that produce physical goods) under a B Corporate model (bcorporations.net), and then enforce a simple rule: every output from their factory must be food (or an input) for some other part of the system (http://www.mcdonough.com/cradle_to_cradle.htm).
