[edit] Merge from Cradle to cradle design

Cradle to cradle design might be a concept apart from the book, but the overlap is substantial, and the articles are a long way from being distinct enough to justify separate articles. I assume it was made without realising that this article existed.

I propose that Cradle to cradle design be merged into this article - if no objections in the next week or three, I'll merge it. If I remember :). --Singkong2005 talk 03:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

A merge seems appropriate please go ahead!

[edit] The Writing Style of the Wiki Entry

The wiki headline itself looks like someone wrote it by looking at something like a New York Times review. This in itself _may_ not be a bad thing, but I feel that it looks like it may be breaking the NPOV. I'm not too sure about it though, so some other people may want to look at this over some more.

[edit] RM'd section: OR

The authors leave out some important information. They include no citations to support various claims. And while they talk about the book's paper, they do not tell readers that it is actually polypropylene film, rather than one of many available and far more benign bioplastics. They also leave out any recycling mark. So when the book is discarded it will not return to nature, nor will it be reborn as another product. Instead, it will probably end up as foreign waste in a regular paper recycling stream. Thus some would argue the book contradicts its own thesis.


removed original research here until a citation can be found and the text rewritten as neutral. --164.76.12.161 (talk) 22:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
