A book on a new industrial model based on trees

[Rakesh Biswas]

Thought it may be of interest to this list.

 

A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are).

Thank you Rakesh ji for information about this different type of a book related to trees. May I request for the publisher's name please, and the year of publication.
 
regards,
Rashida.

I fail to understand your real meaning. What does it mean 'a tree does not depend on others.....' and then 'mother nature is a bitch'

 

Every thing is connected with every thing in the world. Mother Nature is the God's manifestation - himself or herself. I am not talking of Quantum Therory, even a primary student can understand that  "vriksh kabhi nahi phal bhakhain, nadi na sanchai neer / par karaj ke karne sadhu dharain shareer" (English version : Trees never eat their own fruits, rivers do not collect water for their future security - they do it for others;  similarly saintly people live in this world for the welfare of others'

 

There is a vast Yagya going on in the universe... sun does not shine for itself, air does not flow for itself, water does not exist for itself, earth does not exist for iself and space does not exist for itself.... these all are performing a cosmic Yagya. Sadly, this is a man who does everything for himself and not for others.

 

Sorry for using 'non-tree' material on this list, but I felt a bit heart at 'mother nature is a bitch'

I agree with you Sangeeta. I am not sure what Vivek meant. Perhaps he should clarify.

... Vivek, refrain from posting personal ill-feelings ... Get well soon.

[Yazdy Palia]

Vivek's utterance to me is blasphemy.
