Innovation & Biomimicry
EcoSense explores three creative and different examples of biomimicry. A visit to Mushroom Mountain reveals how the potential uses of fantastic fungi go beyond salad. At the Emory Water Hub, mimicking Mother Nature leads to cleaning 400,000 gallons of water per day - without using the city's water treatment system. And at Georgia Aquarium and Zoo Atlanta, organizations around the country use data to ensure the survival of many diverse species.
