What do trees talk about? In the Douglas fir forests of Canada, see how trees “talk” to each other by forming underground symbiotic relationships—called mycorrhizae—with fungi to relay stress signals and share resources with one another.

Amazing! Biomimicry making strides to a sustainable future, once again!

Researchers say they have developed an artificial "leaf” that can produce fuels such as methane and gasoline from carbon dioxide.

Nature's game plan.

"In natural systems, nothing is wasted, since everything can be used by something else. Instead of using large inputs of energy and toxic chemicals to make things and ship them across the globe, nature makes what it needs where it needs it, with water-based chemistry."

National Geographic has turned their gaze to biomimicry!

Designers are turning to biomimicry to develop better cooling technologies.

Very nice Bloomberg! http://www.bloomberg.com/slideshow/2013-08-18/14-smart-inventions-inspired-by-nature-biomimicry.html

A very interesting concept for a city! While some may point and say, "It sounds great, but all of that will never be accomplished," how can it hurt to start a city with such noble intentions? A plan to follow nature's design seems, to me, to be the most educated and effective plan!

GRADUATING?
For all those students drawing closer to graduation, I understand the unsettled feeling you have and I sympathize. We are headed into an unknown world that changes daily. There are no guarantees, but there are also no "right" directions to head in. Take a que from mangrove seeds and let the vast waters you're thrown to carry you to your next destination. Rather than terrifying, let the journey be exciting and surprising. If we just go on living, we'll sink our roots in somewhere eventually!
