| along with his work he brings a message. a message of opportunity for other people to use his ideas on sustainability in other areas, not neccesarily confined to business. Aside: the monetary system and all its dependants will inevitably cease to exist, the system itself is unsustainable, so its only a matter of time before it fails. there's no need to worry about it. and bill... Maybe he would have mentioned that inconvienient truth if some things were different... |

| good points, i like your style. Drastic changes are exactly whast are needed. unfortunately this wont happen until the majority is informed of the level of choice they have. Bill is only one man at the end of the day. He's creating a solution, doing something that isnt counterproductive to growth. anything that isnt counterproductive, surely deserves more respect.i notice i neglected to mention im referencing his city design. as far as for perpetuating profit goes, it guess thats just his method |

| This is a forum for exchanging ideas. My comments need not be legitimized only after I've designed and built a sustainable city for millions. In fact, that's my point exactly - that an effort to achieve sustainability via industrial free-trade systems is ludicrous. My criticism is not for Bill's ideas, but his omission of this inconvenient truth - designing a building here and a product there just won't cut it in the end. Need drastic changes... |

| did he mention achieving profits?this man clearly understands what materials and resources it takes to have sustainable life on earth. sustainable liing for the entire world is the first step.we are not all enimies. the ememy is the consciousness that is takes away from everything and doesnt give back.Bill is an exceptionally giving person. when you design a sustainable city for millions of people, then you may criticise |

| So much here is prolific. I love the Ford roof. I will have to hear this repeatedly to catch all of his great snotty zings!! Wonder if that list is out yet? Brilliant concept. |

| Sustainable industrial economy based on never-ending growth to achieve profits is an OXYMORON - the two are mutually exclusive, and the sooner we accept that and begin dismantling the system itself, the better. Selling false hope in the form of "greeninfication" of growth and abundance is absurd and counterproductive. Shame on people like Bill McDonough - a perfect example of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." |
