Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
1) Is Competent ... his successful application of Cradle-to-Cradle design principles through the work of his firm and the Cradle-to-Cradle institute provides ample proof of competency.
2) Is Honest... the very philosophy that he spouses via Cradle-to-Cradle implies honesty instead of externalization (which is really avoidance) when it comes to decide how we must build a thing; using toxic elements because it is cheaper, convenient and available? or rather, take look for another path as our values are not to be compromised in the process. Interesting thing about the latter journey, as you can see by many successful Cradle-to-Cradle case studies, is that the gentler and honest path is not necessarily more costly, and that designs professionals in industry are not evil per se, but they just didnt know a better path. An enlightened policy and education can change that.
3) Is Respectful ... his Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy is rooted in respect; respect of our commons as an inheritance to be segued to the future, respect for our values, and respect for our children.
4) Has Integrity ... the whole design philosophy behind his work is a testament to integrity against conformity or taking the path of least resistance.
5) Has Courage ... definitely he has blazed his way courageously against detractors in the architectural community (such as Richard Meier) who wanted to stick to industry standards without questioning whether they were safe to our health or wellbeing.
6) Has a Proven Record... as you can see via the links Ive provided, his work is known worldwide and his record second to none.
