FYI: Green Reading.

If you're looking to get started in truly understanding and learning about sustainable design, the best place to start is the book "Cradle to Cradle" written by William McDonough and Michael Braungart. This is an extremely helpful and insightful book.


While studying interior design, I wanted to offer eco friendly design services but struggled and questioned what is real "green design"? During my internship with TerraCycle, one of the designers suggested this book along with others to read. It really changed the way I viewed sustainable design. It's very empowering and showed me there are many options out there and this type of change starts with us.

You don't have to be a designer to read this book. If anything, this will help you to make the right choices in how you live. I highly recommend this easy reading informative book. Two green thumbs up!
