I have some awareness that there is a global assualt on our natural resources...and recently its occured to me that it will take something more than tv documentaries and environmental consultants to save our environment and change the way we live.
I feel like i need a much stronger and more focussed avenue to change our world for the better.
Biomimesis is a new word i learnt today. Its a way to imitate nature in the way it uses various methods to sustain the earth. Here are some basic principles (from an article about an amazonian rain forest study). Serious, but cool stuff:
1. Run on direct sunlight
2. Use only the required energy
3. Fit form to funtion
4. Recycle everything
5. Reward coorporation
6. Bank on diversity
7. Use local expertise
8. Curb excesses from within
9. Filter water
10. Clean air
11. Build soil
12. Create conditions conducive to life
Today I also thought about the coriolis effect, and i'm apparently bored!
