Eaway: Biomimicry is a way of looking at deep patterns to understand how we might shift or alter those behaviors. Eaway: You can set up scenarios, say, in your work place, where you tell two people you're going to be working together for the next year and they'll figure it out. The best ways to deal with siblings fighting is not give them the choice to just, you know, argue and then go play with their friends. And so if we change the habitat condition, then we can actually create the space for those other behaviors to emerge.

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.
