A new breed of innovators, who are inspired by nature, is growing across the globe to deal with the mounting waste problem created by present day hyper-consumerism.

The Circle of Life

There is an idea that can improve our lives and save our planet. And the idea is not new; it is as ancient as our mother earth or human history. It is that, in naturefrom the microcosm to the macrocosm, everything is connected and circular. It is not linear. The seasons are circular. The course of water over the earth is circular. It evaporates from the sea, condenses to form clouds, then falls from the skies, circulates through the world, nourishing life, and then goes back into the sea. The plant kingdom absorbs CO2 (carbon dioxide) and releases oxygen, which helps sustain animal and human life. And this cycle of creation, sustenance, and destruction (decomposition) continues. It is this incredible intermingling of the same elements (earth, wind, fire, water, and ether) over and over again that creates everything on earth.

This circularity is prevalent all over the planet and has super-intelligence built into it, which creates zero waste in the end. Take pond water that has so many living organisms. The living organisms creates an ecosystem where plants, algae, and photoautotrophic bacteria turn the carbon dioxide present in the water into a usable form. This carbon is then passed from one organism to another during predation. Fish excrete nitrogen, which helps the aquatic plants survive, and in return, the fish get weeds, algae, and plants for their survival. Likewise, bacteria and algae in ponds and soil are responsible for changing nitrogen gas into ammonia, which is used by plants to survive. The ecosystem generates oxygen, promotes the carbon and nitrogen cycle, and releases nutrients that, otherwise, would be locked up in nature. It’s a system that creates everything it needs and doesn’t waste anything. It’s an amazing systemic miracle when you think about it. The ecosystem is a complex mechanism which self-regulates to create
