JANINE BENYUS on Redesigning Society Based on Nature /71 ⌠ENCORE⌡

This week we are excited to feature an encore episode chosen by our dear Podcast Editor and Producer Andrew Storrs. Biomimicry asks us to look at nature’s blueprint for a game plan. High speed trains from technology of the kingfisher birds, wind turbines from the humpback whale, harvesting fog air as inspired by the stenocara beetle, shock absorption from the woodpecker, planet cooling ventilation from termites-- these are fully functioning technologies that have existed in the vision of nature’s sheer brilliance.. Rather than drilling, pummelling, mining, exploding, taking, we could simply just look and see how it has been done since the very beginning. Sustainability should be the bare minimum when we have all the necessary technology to be thriving. Listen again this Thursday to this episode full of inspiration!
