A really interesting article! We really are addicted to technology and energy consumption to resolve our problems from heating, cooling, recycling, cleaning and pumping water etc. In a period where fossil energy has been cheap and abundant we have looked to step away from nature (although physics and electro magnetism are still of course natural). It's time to look again for natural inspiration as our fossil fuels are warming our planet. We may even end up with more beautiful architecture, communal spaces, where local communities work together to solve problems.
Super interesting! Really enjoyed this post.
Great article. very knowledgable and informtive.
Thank you - comments like these make my day!
Great read. Remind me of the Moorish towns of Spain and their various irrigation systems which are desperately needed now

Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I agree - there's so much we can learn from millions of years of evolution.
