On today’s podcast, we will be learning what biomimicry is with Lex Amore, Director of Partnerships and Advocacy at the @biomimicryinstitute.
There is a quote from Frank Lloyd Wright that seems to sum up for me how to describe biomimicry; “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature, it will never fail you.”
Biomimicry is a practice that imitates or mimics nature to help find solutions to challenges we face in today’s world.
If we think that life has been sustained on earth for billions of years, we can see the benefits of using nature as our role model and tap into her wisdom to help solve these challenges. Biomimicry can be used to find solutions in areas such as agriculture, construction, food waste, energy, fashion, and architecture.
To quote the @biomimicryinstitute;
“Biomimicry is about valuing nature for what we can learn, not what we can extract, harvest, or domesticate. In the process, we learn about ourselves, our purpose, and our connection to each other and our home on earth.”
In this podcast, we will learn what biomimicry is and how it is used to develop sustainable solutions to global challenges we face. The answers to these challenges are truly right outside our window. We will also discover why learning from and mimicking nature can reveal just how intimately connected we are to nature and to each other, helping to shift our focus to one of interconnectedness.
