Biomimicry Chicago Upcoming Events: April 2017

Carbon as Catalyst Thursday April 6 5:30 - 6:30pm Hosted by AECOM, 100 South Wacker Drive, Suite 500, Chicago RSVP for this FREE event TODAY!

Moving beyond carbon emissions. In nature, carbon cycles throughout our atmosphere, soils, water and all life, tying us all together. Carbon is a critical abundant resource that, together with water and the energy from sunlight, forms the fundamental building blocks of life. Next Thursday April 6, learn how people fighting climate change are beginning to move beyond simply reducing carbon emissions to a strategy of looking to complete the carbon cycle as nature does, including seeing carbon as a resource and catalyst for new business opportunities.  Thirsty Thursdays: RSVP Today!

Think Biomimicry #SystemReset Series - New Post!

In my latest post on Trulstech's innovative Molecular Heat Eater (MHE) family of flame retardants and the flame retardant industry, I continue to explore how using biomimicry to not only innovate new technology but also use different materials based on life-friendly chemistry has the potential to disrupt entire product category ecosystems toward a more sustainable future.
