Summary
What is the design intent of our lives? Janine Benyus and Christiana Figueres open the series in conversation about biomimicry, belonging, and what it actually means to live in relationship with the rest of the natural world. "What is the design intent of our actions, of our words, of our thoughts? If we can be much more mindful about that, much more thoughtful and frankly much more loving in how we operate, we would have a different world." — Christiana Figueres "That personal relationship with the rest of the natural world can be cultivated. We are not too far gone from it at all." — Janine Benyus Systems change, it turns out, starts personally. This episode will shift how you think about the relationship between nature, design, and the choices you make every day. As we AskNature for guidance through today’s climate and social crises, Janine Benyus and Christiana Figueres remind us that we also need to have the humility to listen. --- Hosted by Amanda Sturgeon, CEO of the Biomimicry Institute, and Andrew Howley, Chief Editor. Sound design and music composition by Simon Thomas George and Lucas Murray. Senior producer is Ayoade Balogun. The AskNature Podcast is a project of The Biomimicry Institute. Episode 1 premieres on May 27th. What will you AskNature next?
