Marion tells us that there is no such thing as right or wrong with drawing, how we should use our energy to create a network and most importantly - if all else fails why we should not give up.

Marion works with major design and advertising agencies, publishes illustrated children's books and has created a much-loved style of hand-lettering. Her work has graced the covers of Penguin Books, the pages of the Guardian and New York Magazine. Marion believes anyone can be taught how to draw, or at the very least, learn to enjoy the process of making art.

How would we behave differently if our culture mimicked that of nature? Imagine a world where the companies, cities and nature were functionally indistinguishable?

Michael created the concept of “Cradle to Cradle” as a young chemist and, in 2002, with his American friend Bill McDonough, the bestseller 'Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things' was published.

He founded the chemistry division of Greenpeace. His first-class science mind leaves him sceptical about many popular environmental solutions.

Braungart is constantly explaining how much we need to know if we are to make the world a better place. And how much detail we already do know but which we sometimes stubbornly ignore.
