Video: Waste = Food

Waste is food: food for growth.  This is the idea of turning all materials that don't compose into food for the earth.  The idea that every waste should be recycled into soil and offer as a nutrient. One example given in this video was Nike.  Their goal is no more waste by 2020.  They have been working on a new design called "Nike Considered." This design involves recycling old Nike shoes, and putting the materials back together as raw materials to design a new pair of shoes.  Another example given in this video is that one Architect is working to build factories for companies where their building acts like a tree, by recycling solar energy and oxygen, and uses purified waste water.  These buildings also build respect for factory workers, gives them light, and gives them the right air quality.

These are just a few of the great ideas from this video and how turning waste into food can help our earth became less polluted and how we can design to work towards having a better and cleaner earth to live in.
