"When we look at what is truly sustainable, the only real model that has worked over long periods of time is the natural world"

"Biomimicry is a practice that learns from and mimics the strategies found in nature to solve human design challenges—and find hope."

-Janine Benyus, Founder of the Biomimicry Institute
