November

 

"We use brut force reactions to have elements to bond or break apart. Life uses a small subset of the Periodic Table - the safe elements - and then very, very, elegant recipes. Low temperature. Low pressure. Low toxicity. That's Nature chemistry. A very different paradigm." in Biomimicry video from Biomimicry Institute. Image by Monica Pinheiro, license CC BY-NC-SA.

Success

"The Natural World definition of success is not keeping offspring alive in a generation. Success is keeping offspring alive for 10 000 generations or more. This is the magic of Nature." But since "you are not going to be here to take care of 10 000 generations from now, what organisms learned to do, is to take care of the place, that's going to take care of their offspring. (...) Life has learned to create conditions conducive to life (...) that's also the design brief to us. We have to learn to do that." in Biomimicry video from Biomimicry Institute.
