Surviving Extinction contrasts the pervasive cradle to grave approach to manufacturing, in which being manufactured, used and discarded is a products life-cycle with a cradle to cradle approach to manufacturing in which a product has multiple lives through recycling. The environmental impact of a cradle to grave product is measured from its production through its use to its disposal, including the impact of adding to landfills all over the world. In a cradle to cradle philosophy, the same product impact is examined and the environmental benefits of reuse through recycling a product in multiple forms is explored.
In addition to exploring landfill impacts, Surviving Extinction investigates the impact of trash on our oceans, including the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a huge collection of plastic garbage two times the size of the state of Texas. The plastic trash, from items such plastic water and beverage containers, has collected through a vortex of ocean currents, and the floating collection is endangering fish, turtles, other sea creatures and ecology of the seas.
