The eCoherence Zone: Re-think Everything!

We all know that learning from nature is a great idea –but when we truly put this into practice, amazing things can happen. Advocates of the Circular Economy believe we could in fact design our way into greater climate stability. If we want to learn about filtering air and water, we need only to look to our flora and fauna; to learn about minimising waste, our natural ecosystem has all the answers if we pay attention; and for utilising energy efficiently, controlling heat and even producing oxygen, our ocean and green spaces have so much wisdom to impart. We as NLP modellers can play our part in supporting individuals and businesses to think differently. Looking for an example? Did you know fireflies have informed the design of faceted LEDs…? Illuminating, isn’t it!
