China Planning For Sustainable Cities
TapeCutter writes "In a BBC article William McDonough says, 'The Stone Age did not end because humans ran out of stones. It ended because it was time for a re-think about how we live.' The Chineese appear to agree with him and have commissioned McDonough's company to create an environmentally sustainable village as a pilot project for the more ambitious idea of sustainable cities. McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart have also written a book on the subject, Cradle to Cradle, previously reviewed here on Slashdot."
Just pulling your chain. ;-)
I am very small, utmostly microscopic.
Censorship of Internet access so the citizens don't know the cities aren't really environmentally sustainable. I'm sure Cisco will be happy to help.
I too have felt the cold finger of injustice.
Did anyone else read that as "McDonald's"? :-P
If you get this, we're 10 of a kind.
Most companies that are not already using Linux have plans to transition to Linux by end of this year. Our company and most of our suppliers have also switched to Linux recently and we are already saving huge amounts of money in licensing fees. Also, Openoffice is a relief from Microsoft Word. This is a major trend and once the management of a company realizes the advantages of Linux and how much money they can save it becomes an easy decision.
