Sally Kohn: I took my son out of middle school, because i saw that the school was killing his love of learning. We did this for four years and he didn't miss a single thing. He just started a month ago ata, an alternative college that doesn't have grades but you choose your own curricula. She says parents should empower their kids instead of harming them by letting them free range.

Our guest in this podcast episode is Dr. Dayna Baumeister, a researcher, consultant, and educator in the field of biomimicry. She is the co-founder of Biomimicry 3.8., a project that trains change-makers in sustainable design principles inspired by nature’s forms, processes, and ecosystems.

Dayna and her business partner Janine Benyus have developed the biomimicry movement as a response to the world’s sustainability problems.

In this episode we talk about how we can learn from nature to be more resilient and self-sustainable, raise better adapted kids, and adopt the everyday practices to improve our chances of overcoming the climate and economic challenges ahead.
