Biomimicry for Improved Design

Nature through its infinite iterations over generations, provides us with an amazing knowledge of the most efficient outcomes in the face of certain environmental stimuli. It seems every time we seek to find the best solution to a problem, the answer has already been incorporated by an animal or plant in nature. Two examples of recent discoveries include the physical technologies of gecko's high friction feet and shark's self-cleaning antibacterial skin.

We have an unfathomable supercomputer of data that has been running a monte-carlo like simulation of the conditions in our world and still we destroy it little by little everyday and with increasing magnitude.
