Cradle to Cradle want to stablish a new looking of design and how this can be implemented to create a better world. They talk about many reasons about how we produce, use, consume, and get rid of our products, that makes us think twice about how the world do that. They refer to this based on their personal experiences. The authors make emphasis on what we need to rethink about the standard procedures of design, to change and create a better way of product manufacturing, finding a new system that will
