What a great speaker and impassioned advocate for sustainability.
One of her slides had in it a gorgeous electron micrograph of a spider's spinnarets (if you were wondering how Spiderman got his inspiration for his):

"Life creates conditions condusive to life"
This incredibly inspiring presentation by Janine Benyus almost reduced me to tears. She is a science writer, innovation consultant, conservationist, but I'll call her a "mimeticist" because she looks at nature and shows us how we can learn from billions of years of R&D, millions of examples of beautifully elegant solutions to the problems which plague our current human-inflicted ecosystem -- most of which can be boiled down to waste management and terrible inefficiency.
What a great speaker and impassioned advocate for sustainability.
