Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-13 00:00:00 Nisha Kothari Live this book. If "Cradle to Cradle" is the blueprint, "Confessions of a Radical Industrialist" is the beautiful home that is created therefrom. Rest assured, though, that the home extends from the Earth rather than taking, making, and wasting the Earth. Architecture sure is beautiful, Mr. Roark, especially when you consider the entire life cycle of the structure. I'll excuse your nearsightedness if you promise to transcend your current objectivism. Who would have thought that the founder of a billion-dollar carpet company would or could convert his epiphany of environmental sustainability that is equally more profitable business and more sustainable. This book proves the conversion is possible; profitability and sustainability aren't mutually exclusive. I cannot understate the value of this book. Sure it's not the quickest, most exciting read. That doesn't matter. Just because your eyes can't avoid watching a train wreck doesn't mean the train wreck has value. Rather, the value of this book is that it prospects the future of human progress. Sometimes the future looks dark. This book lights one very important candle. The lessons of this book can be applied to almost every aspect of human life.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-24 00:00:00 Mike Vlach Ray Anderson turned his company into a Zero Footprint company by constantly innovating, and figuring out ways to do things differently. Here is what he did in 16 years: Cut greenhouse gasses by 82% Cut fossil fuel consumption by 60% Cut waste by 66% Cut water use by 75% Invented and patented new machines, materials, and manufacturing processes. Increased sales by 66%, doubled earnings, and raised profit margins. He says, "Business and industry is the only institution large enough, wealthy enough, pervasive and powerful enough to lead humankind out of the mess we are making: not government, not religious institutions, not colleges and universities." And he has taken the lead in showing us how. A very inspiring book.
