Cradle to Cradle Design<br>
It is time for designs that are creative, abundant, prosperous and intelligent from the start. Could have the model for this be right in front of us the whole time?<br>

Imagine this Design Assignment:<br>
“Like a tree, design something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distils water, accrues solar energy as fuel, makes complex sugars and food, creates microclimates, changes colours with the seasons and self-replicates”.<br>
