[Design and Technology] 'cradle to cradle' broadcast

[Susan Murphy]

Fellow Technology Teachers,

SBS had a program on on May 8th called Future Focus "Waste = Food".
I got my Librarian to get a copy after seeing this posting.
I watched it yesterday and it is fantastic.
Very worthwhile to show all Unit 3 and 4  Design and Technology students.
Waste equals food Rated: G. Summary: In the early 90s, the American green
architect William McDonough and German green chemist Michael Braungart
teamed up to realise the Waste = Food principle in man made products. They
took their ideas to the Ford Motor Company, NlKE and the rapidly
developing China. They helped Ford transform their heavily polluted
manufacturing sites into green areas that are safe enough for children to
play in; assisted NIKE in designing toxin-free running shoes that can be
completely recycled; and were also invited to China to develop China's
fIrst' ecologically sustainable model village. (From SBS program guide.)
VHS.


Cheers Sue Murphy
