ZERO WASTE LIKE AN worm
Why does nature recycle better than we do?Nature does well without trash cans. Why not us? Hunting waste like a lynx, sorting like a springtail, depolluting like a plant or designing packaging like a spider. You can't imagine the diversity of solutions invented by living things over the course of evolution. So instead of looking for hackneyed recipes or costly practices, what if we looked at the 1001 ways in which both fauna and flora have tackled the subject to find sources of inspiration?Living things' answers to our everyday questionsThis unique essay mobilizes the natural sciences and the human sciences to meet an essential need in our lives: sorting, recycling and, above all, reducing our waste. Each chapter begins with a section In nature, which explores the question in light of natural examples. It ends with a section In our homes, which addresses how we humans can explore new avenues. Knowing nature can bring a lot of inventiveness into our lives. The author Nathalie Tordjman is a journalist specializing in nature and the environment.
