William McDonough is an internationally renowned designer and shaper of what he calls “the next industrial revolution.” Time Magazine named him a “hero of the planet” for his philosophy that re-invention of human industry is our best hope for a sustainable future. In a talk at ASU’s Tempe campus, McDonough will discuss his co-authored book Cradle to Cradle, which offers practical steps for innovating within today’s economic environment. Part social history, part green-business primer, part design manual, the book argues that an industrial system that “takes, makes and wastes” can become a creator of goods and services that generate ecological, social and economic value. Presented in collaboration with ASU’s Global Institute of Sustainability.
