William McDonough, Speech at 2000 Bioneers

I found this excellent speech yesterday afternoon, it's 45 minutes but I was able to have it going in the background and take it in while working. McDonough thinks on a such a large scale, and he's a great speaker so he's fun to listen to. This interview in 2000 demonstrates that he hasn't just been thinking big, but he's also been a real leader and change agent for some time. In this speech McDonough asks some great questions and really puts things in perspective about the need to change our course.

He opens up by saying that as a designer, there are two questions he always asks: 1) How do we love all children of all species for all time? And 2) When do we all become native, truly indigenous? He contrasts our "planning" with that of the Iroquois who make decisions based on implications 17 generations out..... I'll let you listen to the rest-- it's worth it.
