Cradle to Cradle relates to my project...
After I've finished reading "Cradle to Cradle", I saw that many informations in this book related to different aspects of my project. For example, in Cradle to Cradle, the authors mentioned the cherry tree design and how everthing the cherry tree produced are capable of re-entering the ecosystem without any damage being done. Our food should also follow the cherry tree design. Without the additives, our food would be able to leave our bodies and still be able to benefit the environment as biological nutrients, not waste.
Also, in the last chapter, the authors talked about the X/Gray/P list. Well, our group recently found a list of additives that are categorized exactly like that, based on their toxicity level.
Another big concept that was included in the book was the question of design. The authors talked about how monoculture and our actions like building malls and concrete buildings that are not compatible with the environment, might improve economy but will cause every other aspects to decline. Same concept is used with food. Adding additives in our food might cheapen the manufacture costs and expand the selling period but it will harm the consumers' health along with the environment (i.e: waste from producing process food)
That's all we can think of for now when it comes to the relationship between Cradle to Cradle and our project...To be continued...
