Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on February 21, 1951)

Happy Birthday, William McDonough! May your day be as delightfully renewable and endlessly recyclable as the visionary designs you've gifted our planet. From transforming Ford's River Rouge Plant into a beacon of sustainability to crafting NASA’s Sustainability Base—your creativity has truly reached cosmic proportions.

Your groundbreaking books with Michael Braungart have inspired countless minds toward abundance rather than mere sustainability. Here's hoping this birthday brings you laughter, joy, and perhaps even an upcycled cake (though we promise it's tastier than it sounds). Cheers to another year of designing brilliance—and may all your future projects continue flourishing cradle-to-cradle style!
