I really like the book so far. The vision of McDonough and Braungart is a good one. It is feasible without being unrealistic or over-the-top. In particular I agree with McDonough's views on building design and impact. The example given of the day care in Frankfurt, and his determination to make the inside of the daycare safe for children, im important. McDonough and Braungart think creatively about how to lessen the impact of their architecture on the environment in ways that I had not ever considered.
I think that they are definitely on the right track to helping the environment in their own way. In their chosen profession there is little that can be done to lessen their impacts but they are doing it as well as pioneering efforts to reduce the impact more by designing and implementing effective sustainable design in architecture. I am interested in architecture and the design of buildings (in a cursory, oh that's nice I wonder how they did that kind of way) and it is fascinating to see the ways that they are leading their generation and field toward more sustainable architectural design.
Sorry that this is late... BUT GET READY FOR TWILIGHT TONIGHT!!!!
