The Promise of Biomimicry

We are all looking for hope for a sustainable future. We believe biomimicry presents a way to connect with the natural world and learn from its wisdom to better design forms, processes, and systems that are inherently regenerative. In this new film, co-founder Janine Benyus walks us through the emerging discipline, and we meet up-and-coming innovators and companies who are working to bring their ideas to market. Presented by Janine Benyus and with Ray C. Anderson Prize and Lauchpad participants from around the world. With John Lanier. For more info: http://www.biomimicry.org and http://www.treemedia.com.
