For years now, the design industry has been moving in a decidedly green direction, with a huge push towards sustainable materials, energy efficient design, and environmentally-friendly building practices. We love hearing about all of the green innovations in the design industry, and one of the most exciting innovators to watch right now is Janine Benyus, co-founder of the Biomimicry Guild.

As a biologist, innovation consultant, and author of books like Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature, Benyus helps engineers, designers, and other innovators harness the wisdom of nature to create unique solutions to modern problems. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, here’s a quick introduction from the Biomimicry Institute’s Ask Nature site:

This design approach is truly fascinating, and there are literally hours’ worth of engrossing reading material on the Biomimicry Guild and Ask Nature sites, so make sure to take a look.
