The State of Green Business 2011 keynote interview.
William McDonough, Founding Partner and Principal, MBDC and William McDonough + Partners in conversation with Joel Makower Founder of Greenbiz.com
“Cradle to Cradle: The Cradle to Cradle® framework moves beyond the traditional goal of reducing the negative impacts of commerce (‘eco-efficiency’), to a new paradigm of increasing its positive impacts (‘eco-effectiveness’). MBDC has developed a white paper that compares the approach of eco-efficiency (or minimization) and a more comprehensive, sustaining approach that integrates eco-efficiency within the larger eco-effective goal of optimization.” cradle to cradle framework
