[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).  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.
