They have found what 
works, what is appropriate, and most importantly, what lasts here on Earth. 
Instead of harvesting organisms, or domesticating them to accomplish a function 
for us, biomimicry differs from other "bio-approaches" by consulting organisms 
and ecosystems and applying the underlying design principles to our innovations. 
This approach introduces an entirely new realm for entrepreneurship that can 
contribute not only innovative designs and solutions to our problems but also to 
awakening people to the importance of conserving the biodiversity on Earth that 
has so much yet to teach us. <BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.asknature.org/article/view/what_is_biomimicry"><H2><BR />Looking at Nature as Model, Measure, and Mentor</H2></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/29BB8100-0E46-4F4B-B2C2-95BB4F5110AF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
