Once shoppers become empowered, we will facilitate industries thinking in completely new terms; for example, making products that are totally biodegradable.

As sustainability becomes more and more of a concern, we're going to see more plastics.

I am using soybean based ink, which is recyclable.

It makes a big difference to recycle. It makes a big difference to use recycled products. It makes a big difference to reuse things, to not use the paper cup - and each time you do, that's a victory.

Everyone is trying to jump on the biomimic bandwagon. But a cork floor is not biomimicry. Neither is using bacteria to clean water.

Plastics, as a material, are very nasty, but as an alternative to, let's say, a brick, which seems really natural, they start to look pretty good. They're very low energy to produce, very lightweight to transport and construct. That's why they're so popular.

At home, I like my kids to drink out of stainless steel tumblers. They are non-breakable and non-toxic.

It's hard to get everybody to recycle paper and plastic, let alone.
