  2. Biomimicry is the science and art of emulating Nature's best biological ideas to solve human problems. Biomimicry Bios – lifeMimic – to copy or emulateis a new discipline that studies nature's best ideas and then imitates these designs and processes to solve human problems.

  3. Humans may have a long way to go towards living sustainably on this planet, but 10-30 million species with time-tested genius have figured it out and maybe we can learn a few things from them? Chimpanzee, Willem Van der Kerkhof/Flickr Creative Commons

  4. This is the real news of biomimicry: After 3.8 billion years of research and development, failures are fossils, and what surrounds us is the secret to survival Happy June beetle. Photo from BugGuide, by Lynette. Creative Commons license.

  5. In biomimicry, we look at nature as model, measure, and mentor.

  6. Biomimicry introduces an era based not on what we can extract from organisms and their ecosystems, but on what we can learn from them.

  7. Instead of harvesting or domesticating, biomimics consult organisms; they are inspired by an idea, be it a physical blueprint, a process step in a chemical reaction, or an ecosystem principle. Borrowing an idea is like copying a picture-the original image can remain to inspire others.
