The document outlines several possible solutions for improving sustainability, including biomimicry which models nature to solve human problems, closed loop production which reuses waste and energy rather than disposing of it, and conscious consuming where people are aware of how their purchases impact the environment. Other solutions discussed are consumer labeling to show waste production and manufacturing methods, corporate social responsibility holding businesses accountable, and cradle to cradle design where all materials used can be reused or recycled.
