Based in Vermont's Queen City, biomimicry Vermont was founded to connect and nourish a Vermont community of Biomimicry practitioners.
Connecting current and future biomimics, engaging Vermont in an interdisciplinary movement to unearth and emulate the sustainable solutions embedded in nature's genius. We come from diverse professional and personal backgrounds, and look forward to meeting others who are interested in applying the principles of nature to the social, environmental, and economic issues at hand.

"In natural systems, nothing is wasted, since everything can be used by something else. Instead of using large inputs of energy and toxic chemicals to make things and ship them across the globe, nature makes what it needs where it needs it, with water-based chemistry."

A very interesting concept for a city! While some may point and say, "It sounds great, but all of that will never be accomplished," how can it hurt to start a city with such noble intentions? A plan to follow nature's design seems, to me, to be the most educated and effective plan!

GRADUATING?
For all those students drawing closer to graduation, I understand the unsettled feeling you have and I sympathize. We are headed into an unknown world that changes daily. There are no guarantees, but there are also no "right" directions to head in. Take a que from mangrove seeds and let the vast waters you're thrown to carry you to your next destination. Rather than terrifying, let the journey be exciting and surprising. If we just go on living, we'll sink our roots in somewhere eventually!
