In Biomimicry, Janine Benyus describes how scientists can take the workings of nature – such as photosynthesis – and adapt them for human use, from environmentally friendly energy production to natural medicine. Everything we need to survive – and end the destruction of the planet – exists under our noses, and it is up to science to harness it (electrons in leaf cells, for example, convert sunlight into energy in trillionths of a second) in order to bring about a sustainable future.
