Great Idea, if the price is right.

There is no doubt that it is possible to create products and buildings that are both economically sound as well as ecologically beneficial for the environment. It seems almost idiotic why so little has been put into making buildings and products more environmentally sound for the very minimal cost increase. With the great examples of soil roofs and create non toxic goods as well as the very book itself shows that it is a very possible objective that more designers and architects should be considering.

If we manage to move away from these current consumption cycles into actual sustainable cycles as the authors have prescribed, we can avoid much of the destructive consumption patterns that we have found ourselves in. Although if the price difference between well designed and supplied building is comparable to a poor standard build one, there is no doubt that this technique will be choosen but the problem lies in when the there is a price difference between the two, and if the price difference too large for developers to handle. One possible solution for this could be to just make this new ecological building practices standard so all new construction and designs implement these techniques, although this might raise the cost of buildings, the earth reap the rewards.
