Cosmomimicry: Why the Universe Matters | David McConville Bioneers: Ecological Design
-
- Society & Culture
The Buckminster Fuller Institute Board Chair illustrates the geocentric view of the universe as our renewed cosmic model. Earth – our observational center – is also our ecological center. Yet we can embrace systems thinking as far-reaching as the universe and find a restorative path to our future - knowing “the universe we design for is the universe we’re going to get.”
This speech was given at the 2013 Bioneers National Conference and is part of the Eco-Design Collection, Vol. 2.
Since 1990, Bioneers has acted as a fertile hub of social and scientific innovators with practical and visionary solutions for the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges.
To experience talks like this, please join us at the Bioneers National Conference each October, and regional Bioneers Resilient Community Network gatherings held nationwide throughout the year.
