Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Visionaries!
McDonough & Baumgarten have re-envisioned how companies might redesign their manufacturing processes to actually leave the environment better than they found it. And create better products in the end, products that people will want to buy because they are well-designed.

This book has some good points & quotes, but in the end it's another propaganda piece for greenwashing corporations.
