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.

Janine Benyus is the foremost proponent of Biomimicry, the work that takes a deep look at nature and mimics nature's solutions to challenges like energy use, building materials, cooperation, structure, basically everything we need to live in this world sustainably. This interview is from 2006 and is a very full overview of Biomimicry. For more interviews in this series, go to: http://www.treemedia.com/#!11th-hour-research-tapes/c18kw
