This is a blog post that introduces what is biomimicry and dives deeper into what other applications of biomimicry are present. Biomimicry is interesting as it looks at nature to help utilize resources efficiently. One of the many issues today is that humans are very resource-intensive. We utilize tons of resources to sustain our daily lives that are not exactly efficient, but recent bioinspired technologies have shown nature has solved these problems years ago from the bullet train to velcro to architechure.
