 * Look over examples of her biomimetic principles applied to products in the slideshow located at []and on the article at [] and describe how these principles could be applied to make a company more efficient in its design processes. (3 paragraphs, 200 words)**

The principle of designing with bio-mimicry could really benefit future companies and designs. The earth has had the ability to design animals and ecosystems without the use of chemicals or other attributes that harm the environment. This is why using the techniques of bio-mimicry can not only help the environment but help to push companies forward in technological advances. There are several benefits of companies using bio-mimicry as part of their technological advancements.

By using bio-mimicry companies are taking advancements that nature has been working on for 3.8 billion years, by looking at the most successful pieces of nature companies are able to look at the surviving models of nature and base their designs from that. In addition as a result from taking designs based from nature, it is guaranteed that most of the designs will be low emissions. For example plants have to take the sunlight and create their own energy, if companies can follow the examples of simple plants then fewer emissions will be sent into the atmosphere.

Nature builds their designs based of what materials they have. For example the human body is a complex system that nature has provided us with. We are not giants and do not require chemicals to run, rather we are constructed with such precision that we require less materials. If companies are able to harness this they can not only use less materials to build their designs they can also save money in the process.
