Biomimicry

Biomimicry, the practice of looking deeply into nature for solutions to engineering, design and other challenges, has inspired a film about it's ground-breaking vision for creating a long-term, sustainable world. This film covers how mimicking nature solves some of our most pressing problems, from reducing carbon emissions to saving water. The film, titled "Biomimicry" features Janine Benyus, is brought to you by Leonardo DiCaprio, Executive Producers Oliver Stanton, directed by Leila Conners, produced by Mathew Schmid and Bryony Schwan, created by Tree Media with Executive Producers Roee Sharon Peled and George DiCaprio.

I love this so much. Systems design based on biomimicry can bring us to a new paradigm on how humans engage with out environment.

[@KuraSourTakanHour]

It really is taking off in labs everywhere; I remember a Japanese research team that analysed the proboscis of Mosquitoes to create syringes that do not stretch the skin so much when inserted and so are much less painful. Another team applied the surface contours of dragonfly wings to create turbines that generate less air resistance, so they extract more energy. Biomimicry really does have solutions for everything

[@mel3256]

So glad a film was made to explain #biomimicry in lay terms. This will be a great tool the spread the word about how biomimicry should be spreading across our economies and to help change the way we think. Lot's of work ahead!

[@suzannemcgaugh6349]

Can you please manually correct your closed captions so that this video is more accessible to the hearing impaired?

[@Globovoyeur]

The great thing I notice about this video -- aside from the wonderfully uplifting information -- is that Janine Benyus pauses between sentences. That's rare on KZbin today. It seems the standard tactic is to keep up an unbroken stream of patter in order to discourage listeners from turning the video off, or hitting pause. Watch any SciShow video; you'll see what I mean.

A masterpiece of inspiration & communication laying down the simplest of messages, that the answers already surround us, we just need to open our eyes, ears and hearts. If we are to survive, this needs to be seen & embraced by all human kind. Thank you!

[@eyespy3001]

IT's mankind's hubris and belief that we're the smartest thing that ever existed on this planet that stops us from adopting these methods. To accept that, perhaps, we didn't get it right, and that the answers were right there in front of our face the whole time, would be admitting that we've been stupid. Our collective ego is too fragile and not mature enough to do that. We still need to be "God"

[@JimHoltAgitprop]

Wonderful - thanks for such a great purview of the subject from such a natural speaker

[@JA238979]

I loved the part about nacre, which is also known as mother-of-pearl in English. My only concern is an important one: at 7:06 the speaker says that carbon dioxide constructs shells and coral, while in fact CO2 dissolves them -- i.e. the the calcium bicarbonate parts of those organisms like their shells -- by forming carbonic acid (H2CO3) upon mixture with H2O. Correct? Therefore, the danger of ocean acidification was dismissed within the first 8 minutes of this video. I love positivity, I encourage it, yet the subject of decreasing the pH of oceans is very significant.
