Post your “BIOMIMICRY” topical homework here:
- Note any important points from your book reading that connect with or inform your research topic.
- Post a link or citation for at least one article per week on your topic (you should have actually read it, and it will help your teammates if you add some comment as to what interested you).
Folks on other topic teams are welcome to make comments, suggest links, or anything else that would be helpful to this team.

My book reading has touched in on the vast array of organizations and people working together to achieve positive goals for humanity and the planet. It seems to me that this is an excellent display of biomimicry, for everything is a biodynamic whole, there is nothing that can survive without something that another organism has to offer. The smallest particle is needed by one to create the other. It is perhaps in this realization that biomimicry is best seen and measured as a viable means to achieve solutions. There is no need to look any further, the answers are indeed, all around.
