Cradle to Cradle by William McDonough and Michael Braungart

If you haven't heard of or recently read this book, it's an absolute must-read for anyone who is a human being and/or lives on earth.
Read it, share it and then buy another copy.
Repeat.

McDonough is an architect and Braungart is a chemist. Nothing they've written in this manifesto is necessarily "new," and the book was first published in 2002, however the content and the simple, riveting presentation thereof make this an eye-opener for any consumer or house-dweller. It's an honest assessment of current and an idealistic prolepsis of future manufacturing and fabrication techniques, at its most technical. In the most broad sense, it's turned the so-called "green" movement completely over and spanked it.
