Biomimicry
Public
"Mother nature has already spent 3.8 billion years on research and development."
Lets capitolize on her findings! Here are some links to all things biomemetic.
Biomimicry (from bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is a relatively new science that studies nature, its models, systems, processes and elements and then imitates or takes creative inspiration from them to solve human problems sustainably. -Wikipedia(07.23.08)
