A very cool story about a young girl who adapted to make friends when there were no friends around
Some interesting theories, talking about how reality is only apparent to those who are physically there, the one about how nothing exists except for an individuals consciousnesses caught my attention
A bit of perspective on time.
What’s one example that Pawlyn uses to show the superiority of the natural world when it comes to effective ‘design’ compared to human design?
One of Pawlyn’s examples is a bug that can detect a forest fire from eighty kilometres away, that is about 10’000 times more than any human made fire detector can reach as well as that the bug does not require a power source to do this.
If we are to progress with the sustainability revolution, there are three things Pawlyn argues that we must change. What are those three things and what do they mean?
The three key changes that Pawlyn argues are that we should change from a linear to a closed loop method of waste, radical increases in resource efficiency and changing from a fossil fuel economy to a solar powered one. All these changes stem from reusing and sustainability, meaning that if we changed to these methods we can prevent pollution and landfill.
Pawlyn then gives examples of bio-mimicry design which respond to these three changes. Which example inspires you most and why?
The example that Palwyn used in response to a radical increase in resource efficiency is what inspired me the most. The example was a building made out of hexagon and pentagon shapes that were taken from pollen grains and carbon molecules, the hexagons were made of an inflated high strength polymer that was inspired by pressurised membranes seen in nature. The use of this material combined with the hexagons and pentagons resulted in far less resources being used and what really caught my attention was that the building itself weighed less that the air that was inside it.
