The author and her husband have lived in Washington, D.C., for the past 25 years. They've learned how to build their own homes using wood from local sawmills. The couple say they use every piece of wood over again so there's very little wastage. "It's ses heart wrenching, m but it's because we've been part of that system," she says.

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.
