Produce and consume without leaving traces.
It seems impossible to us when we observe how much we destroy our environment with our waste and pollution of all kinds.
However, this is what the rest of life has been doing for 3.8 billion years.
Drawing inspiration from the living is a science, biomimicry;
and this is the theme of the second
Ecolonomy Meetings
organized by the Pochéco company near Lille, in the north of France.
