Cradle 2 Cradle as it is meant to be 

Right in the beginning of this famous book by McDonough and Braungart there are three almost mystical quotes. 

"The world will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation"  - Albert Einstein

"Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars. Gaze at the beauty of the earth's greenings. Now think" - Hildegard Von Bingen

"What you people call your natural resources our people call our relatives" - Oren Lyons, Onondaga Faithkeeper.

What do these texts mean? Why are they there? Why do they come before the body of this practical and inspiring book?

Let's explore:

Einstein says that we will need a new and evolved perspective to find solutions that work. We can only develop such a perspective if we suspend judgement and are in awe of the miracle that is life here on our planet Earth. Only then, it's time to think and act, because that's when me move from the core of our being. Oren Lyons reminds us of the deep connection that we have with all of life. We are part of and dependent on the Earth's life-supporting systems.
