Cradle to cradle is a design concept coined by Michel Braungart- see http://www.epea.com/index.php - and highly relevant to the idea of design being everything from God's creation to the forming of garbage bins.
Just like with the concepts of Access2Innovation (http://www.access2innovation.com/) and base of the pyramide (http://www.bop-protocol.org/ ), cradle-to-cradle has sustainability written all over, with the noble goal of saving humanity from the monumental catastrophies of human behavior as its mission.
Does Gaia care about design? Is Gaia a concept designers can work with? How about love and design? Hate and design? What is it about design anyway? Deep questions, and no answers. Chris Heape suggests I read Noel G. Charlton's 2008 attemtpt to link Bateson's concept of 'mind' to the Gaia concept of sustainability "Understanding Gregory Bateson - mind, beauty and the sacred earth'.
