6 Positive Design
7 Less bad is not good enough! Previous damages should be healed
8 Net-Positive Design Giving more than requiring Energy Flows Water Flows Material Flows
9 Can we apply the notion of net-positive to construction material flows? Energy Flows Water Flows Material Flows
10 Net-Positive Material Use - Achievability? - Definition criteria? Photo by Jeff Kubina - Definition boundaries? anagennao.org
