Green Building:

The Upcycle!

Contributed By: ecofabulous

In 2002 William McDonough and Michael Braungart published a book that changed the paths of numerous individuals, companies and countries. I am one of those individuals that was so inspired by the book, that I vowed to devote my life to the pursuit of its philosophies. Unlike other environmental books and papers, it proselytized celebrating abundance and rethinking the way we approached everything. The long-anticipated follow on is here! The Upcycle is “a collection of stories about amplifying, scaling up and accelerating change, about discovering those leverage points where innovation tips the world not just toward sustainability but beyond”. Though not submersible like its predecessor, McDonough & Braungart’s unique take on water stewardship is one of the elegantly woven threads of The Upcycle. This road map to a better future is a must-have guide for anyone trying to make their carbon footprint count. Carpe diem baby! You can be among the first to read it either in paperback or on the Kindle!
