The wisdom of designing Cradle to Cradle   

http://www.ted.com Green-minded architect and designer William McDonough asks what our buildings and products would look like if designers took into account "all children, all species, for all time."

Home  

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate. The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being

The Story of Stuff  

The Story of Stuff Project was created by Annie Leonard to leverage and extend the film’s impact. We amplify public discourse on a series of environmental, social and economic concerns and facilitate the growing Story of Stuff community’s involvement in strategic efforts to build a more sustainable and just world.

The Land Owns Us  

Bob Randall, a Yankunytjatjara elder and traditional owner of Uluru (Ayer's Rock), explains how the connectedness of every living thing to every other living thing is not just an idea but a way of living. This way includes all beings as part of a vast family and calls us to be responsible for this family and care for the land with unconditional love and responsibility.

Major Muggi Sumner  

Major "Muggi" Sumner, an elder and cultural ambassador of the Ngarrindjeri Nation of South Australia, sees many of his people following a way of self-interest and forgetfulness of Aboriginal values. Muggi tells us that Australia is a land big enough for a lot of people, but only if they are considerate to one another.

Duramunmun Harriso  

Max "Duramunmun" Harrison, an elder of the Yuin Nation of Southeast Australia, explains fundamental differences between Aboriginal and Euro-Australian worldviews. Unity and cooperation must involve understanding and respect for one another's lifestyle. But the basic Aboriginal understanding of the earth as Mother and source is undermined by a culture of consumerism, passively teaching that vegetables come from a store. Max asks, if the Mother is not understood, how can She be respected?

A Thousand Suns  

A Thousand Suns tells the story of the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley and the unique worldview held by the people of the region. This isolated area has remained remarkably intact both biologically and culturally. It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years. Shot in Ethiopia, New York and Kenya, the film explores the modern world's untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature and how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond

Garbage Warrior  

Shot over three years in the USA, India and Mexico, Garbage Warrior is a feature-length documentary film telling the epic story of maverick architect Michael Reynolds and his fight to introduce radically sustainable housing. An inspirational tale of triumph over bureaucracy, Garbage Warrior is above all an intimate portrait of an extraordinary individual and his dream of changing the world.
