Emulating nature's resilience can improve human systems from "summary" of Biomimicry by Janine M. Benyus
Nature has had billions of years to perfect its designs and systems, resulting in incredible resilience. By studying and emulating these natural systems, humans have the opportunity to improve their own systems. Nature has faced countless challenges and obstacles over the millennia, yet it has found ingenious ways to adapt, survive, and thrive. One of the key principles of biomimicry is the idea that nature does not waste energy or resources. Instead, natural systems are incredibly efficient, using only what is necessary to achieve their goals. By learning from nature's efficiency, humans can design more sustainable and resource-efficient systems that minimize waste and energy consumption. In addition to effi...
