Biomimicry explained

Excerpts from the Bioneer's Conference: Janine Benyus

has shared wised words of wisdom and logic. IUNC has found that the red list contains 7,500 conservatives who are holding on to the last of what is left of the old paradigm. There are clouds of worry on peoples' faces as they come to terms to the destructive forces that have worked to vanish over 90% of species on earth. They recognize that the economic quake that has soon to hit will be the largest in human history, with smaller quakes already proven to reek havoc on societies and the human web.

What they have forgotten to look at is the inherent wisdom of Nature's power and experience. Rather than fighting against Nature, we must look to become Nature's apprentice. Her pupil, student, and child.

We must return to the source of creation and stop fighting against it. Surrender is on its way, with resistance close behind her.

The failed paradigm of the old design is catching up to the modern world.
The failed paradigm of the old design is should not be cast aside as a failure, rejected from consideration and acknowledgment. No the unraveling paradigm of the past is merely a showing of our young, often times proud and stubborn, species. We fumble and forget how much is put into the system. How much work is needed to create the structures and plans for the future.

Did you know, cement makes up six to eight percent of the world's CO2 emissions? That is a large contribution if you think about it.

The total contribution of aircraft emissions to total anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions was considered to be about 2 percent in 1990 (IPCC, 1990).
The point is, ground asphalt and buildings made of cement are a significant contributor to green house gases and rising CO2 levels. The point is, the architectural designs of the past, especially through mainstream construction have greatly been poor and incomplete. If people were wise they would realize how designing using principles and patterns in nature, is the smarter and more effective way of constructing reality.

Benyus offered an extensive list of examples in how learning the patterns and designs created by nature can have a leading influence in the designs and scientific efficiencies in the future. She says, the beauty of the scientific path is that we have found the knowledge in the study. This knowledge, or wisdom, tends to reduce friction. This wisdom lets things flow. What some wise people call, the state of harmony. Benyus inspires by reminding us, there is still abundance left and the wisdom of the Earth is waiting for us to re-enter the conversation.

The dialogue is beginning.
