I thought the videos we watched in class Wednesday were interesting. I thought that McDonough brought  up some good points. I think that we do need to be more green, but I don't think that it is going to happen very quickly. The problem I see is that being green is more expensive, and the way the economy is now, more expensive is not a popular option. Also, I think you need to have everyone on board with it to really make a difference. I thought Janine's talk about looking to nature more for design ideas was very interesting. She said that we're not the first to design and she's so right. We need to take after nature and focus on function. One example she used was the Sharklet technologies, which is a more natural anti-bacterial surface taking after the sharks who never have things growing on them. I also really liked the video about the Lifesaver bottles.
