Hello fellow Permies..
I have found a great interview & lecture, for you to view/listen to if you have the RealOne media player.
The Next Industrial Revolution: ÊAn American architect teamed up with a German chemist who together are creating a revolution in sustainable design. Ê
Their impact on the world is going to cause huge ripples accross the world shortly. For what we all understand about Permaculture is taken one step further with these two guys, doing it on a global scale with big business.

The design of the 21st Century is being based on the design of a tree. The authors write the potential goals of human design create more energy than they consume, water leaving factories is cleaner than entering

Both of which have already been accomplished.

One of the authors of Cradle to Cradle, William McDonough, gave a speech to the media in front of BushII

Hi Tomintaz,

Thanks for prividing this lecture.... i found it worthwhile listening to.

I did save it to my pc and downloaded but wasnt able to listen to it offline.... for those who havent heard it yet.(although it could just be me :p )

I feel ppl like these and those we are familiar with as being the pioneers for our future.... ppl that will be looked back upon as visionists. While i would never consider myself as a disciple of these ppl i would say i wouldnt be heading in the direction that i am without there devotion or know what i know without them.

Thanks again....Dave
