McDonough, W. and M. Braungart. Hannover Principles, Cradle to Cradle.
The authors focus their attention on the use of environmentally-friendly elements instead of such dangerous elements and materials as plastic. At the same time, the authors insist on the necessity of the change of the philosophy of modern society toward the development of a new approach to nature, using materials which are not harmful and can be recycled.
In such a situation, designers should focus on the development of environmentally-friendly materials to minimize negative impact of humans on the environment. The development of green technologies, buildings and constructions should be priorities of designers.
To meet this goal, designers should introduce innovative, environment-oriented ideas in their work and promote these ideas among consumers.
