Design like nature : biomimicry for a healthy planet / Megan Clendenan, Kim Ryall Woolcock.

Clendenan, Megan, 1977- (Author). Woolcock, Kim Ryall. (Added Author).

Summary:

Did you know that lamps can be powered by glowing bacteria instead of electricity? That gloves designed like gecko feet let people climb straight up glass walls? Or that kids are finding ways to make compostable plastic out of banana peels? Biomimicry, the scientific term for when we learn from and copy nature, is a revolutionary way to look to nature for answers to environmental problems such as climate change.
