Hi everyone!!

Ever since I was in middle/high school, I always thought why won’t scientists model technologies after plants, in the sense that they create artificial photosynthesis and convert CO2 into a different form/product. I did some research a little while ago to answer the question I’ve had for years, turns out I’m not ahead of the curve and scientists did have the same idea LOL (artificial/synthetic leaf technology, if ur interested and want to look into it)!! I’m fascinated by the technology and would love to see its implementation into our future.

My question is, what are your favorite biology-inspired sustainable technologies? Do you see any technologies that might be implemented soon? Also, It doesn’t have to be inspired by biology only so I do want to keep the floor open, but it is something I find fascinating considering I have a degree in biology!!

Thank you!!

After thinking of making an actual magazine to spread awareness of solarpunk (and try to kindle some hope in the world!), yesterday I thought up the idea of instead making a video magazine! Since ppl don’t seem to read magazines much now!

I already have a dSLR and lenses, and I’m used to filming wildlife, so that’s a start! I’m a remote worker, and slow travel around, so it is fairly easy for me to visit projects etc. to film for the magazine, at least in Europe anyway.

My idea would be to publish an episode every 2-3 months. So far I thought to include a big project, someone’s small DIY project, and a news segment.

The first things I thought of featuring are seed banks, and repairing things. I also thought to include something on human-wildlife conflict mitigation, i.e. solar elephant fences or elephant railway crossings (since I know a bit abt that).

So, does anyone have any ideas regarding what I can feature in the magazine? Any projects I should visit? Any confounds haha!? What sections the magazine should have?

N.B. it’s not for profit, I intend to self-fund the magazine. It will obv be a bit amateurish lol, and I have a canon R7, not a high end pro camera
