In the essay od McDonough and Braungart they began their essay by explaining how books are being made and how books can be recycable because the paper is being made from trees but the text that is made out of ink is not. The ink is very toxic and has dioxins in which is very hazerdous and are cancer- causing.
Then they began to compare and contrast the reality of a cherry tree and how it decomposes while giving nourishment to insects, plants and also the soil.
They also start to talk about how we as humans need to be more eco- friendly and the fact that the growth of nature is characterized as healthy and beutiful while those living in urban types of enviroments are cancer.

Good description of what McDonough and Braungart talk about in the reading, possibly think about how they use pathos, logos and ethos to create connections and trust with the reader!

I like how they discuss the different types of books that are "eco-friendly" as well. The cherry tree is a great story to tell and it allowed me to appreciate nature more hearing that. I like that they parallel the analogy of growth and how it is good with children but cancerous in the environment.
