Benyus believes/that biomimicry may help us become more aware of nature,/thus leading us/to change our way of living. We cannot keep taking advantage of nature forever/or keep dumping our waste/into our environment.
For too long,/we have judged our innovations/by whether they are good for us,/or whether they make money. Benyus suggests/that we put what is good for the whole earth first/and trust that it will also be good/for us humans. The new questions should be the following:/Will it fit in? Is there a model for this in nature? What will it cost the earth/and future generations?
Biomimicry is a powerful tool/that can play an important role/in our future. In the early days,/there were just a few of us humans/in a very large world. Now,/our population is growing rapidly,/and we are beginning to have a bad effect on the environment. We are finally looking for an answer to the question:/“How can we live on our home planet/without destroying it?” Benyus believes/that biomimicry is not only a new way of looking at nature/but also a key to our survival/on planet Earth. We have to learn to live on the earth. It is our home,/but it is not ours alone.
