Evaluate designs by their environmental impacts over their complete life-cycle. Increase the renewability of energy production and the efficiency of energy use until we can provide for our needs out of annual solar income. Create restorative materials cycles in which all waste from one process becomes food for the next. Design in keeping with the greatest possible degree of internal integrity and coherence. Allow living systems to unfold in a full expression of their creative capacities.
Ecological design occurs in planetary time.
