William McDonough on cradle to cradle design | Video on TED.com

Last week, I blogged about a Newsweek Q&A with architect William McDonough. That’s a great 5-minute introduction, but if you have 20 minutes, watch this TED talk (from February 2005). Be patient — McDonough warms up once he gets going (the main problem is he’s probably fitting two hours of ideas into 20 minutes). By the end, like his TED audience, I felt like standing and applauding. Trouble watching the video from here? Find it on the TED site: William McDonough: The Wisdom of Designing Cradle to Cradle.
