Biomimicry: More Cause for Optimism! March 2, 2011
Posted by Jennifer Schlick in planet earth.trackback
In a TED lecture, Janine Benyus says things like: We need to remember that we live in a competent universe where organisms live gracefully. Life creates conditions conducive to life. We need to reconnect ourselves to the genius of the natural world.
She shows several examples of brilliant design in nature and how scientists are using those designs to create better human systems. That is a cause for optimism, isn’t it?
At the end, Janine invites us to visit this website:
I just watched that one a few minutes ago while having lunch! Yes, it’s fascinating, and about time we started paying attention to nature.
Great lecture ! It is nice to see such enthusiasm as she shares this information with others. She does help one feel more hopeful about the future.
Thanks for sharing!
Tony is right!! It’s way overdue!
By the way, if you haven’t yet discovered the TED talks by Dan Barber, I can thoroughly recommend them, they’re beautiful!
There’s so much in the TED talks that gives cause for optimism, I’m really glad I discovered them.
Jennifer- I just added you to the roll at http://favoritenatureblogs.blogspot.com/. Hey… I didn’t connect you with the picture on the FLT News cover. Actually, I was rather preoccupied last summer!
Hey, thanks! I feel honored.
