“Nature works with five polymers. Only five polymers. In the natural wo...” — Janine Benyus Quote

Nature works with five polymers. Only five polymers. In the natural world, life builds from the bottom up, and it builds in resilience and multiple uses.

There are three types of biomimicry - one is copying form and shape, another is copying a process, like photosynthesis in a leaf, and the third is mimicking at an ecosystem's level, like building a nature-inspired city.

Life creates conditions conducive to life.

Life solves its problems with well-adapted designs, life-friendly chemistry and smart material and energy use.

The truth is, natural organisms have managed to do everything we want to do without guzzling fossil fuels, polluting the planet or mortgaging the future.

To hit bottom is to fall from grace.

If a few companies were less greedy, the people at the bottom woud have a lot more.

The bottom line is that female writers aren't being given enough opportunities by male producers.

Very good coaches for ski jumpers stand at the top of the slope and watch the jumpers prepare, rather than standing at the bottom and watching them land.

But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.
