44 We need more than just principles Floriade Venlo Principles Our mission is to use our Cradle to Cradle framework as an engine for innovation. Our Cradle to Cradle framework means: We are native to our place Our waste = food Sun is our income Our air, soil, and water are healthy We design enjoyment for all generations Our goal is a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy and just world, with clean air, water, soil and power economically, equitably, ecologically and elegantly enjoyed.

45 Shared points of Departure in setting goals Integrate current solar income, exergy (energy effectiveness) Integrate topsoil production into structures and landscaping more vegetation and soil than before development. (Topsoil farming) Integrate measurable recycling of air, water and biological nutrients in buildings, landscaping, and spatial plans. (Biological nutrients) Support measurable species diversity so the area contains more diversity than before development. Use healthy building materials whose contents and impacts can be measurably defined

46 Transformation from Save our Souls to a Span of Support.
