BioInspired! So What? Now What!

Seven years after releasing Life’s Principles generation 6 (g6), we are excited to announce the release of g6.1—an enhancement to the existing principles that brings them to the next level of clarity and refinement. After an in-depth review by our team of biomimics, we were pleased to share that all of the principles still hold true. While we did split one complicated principle into two separate principles, the changes we implemented in g6.1 are fine tuning, clarifying, and wordsmithing.

Project Positive is a group of change agents dedicated to raising the bar on what acting sustainably means—driven by a sense of urgency to move beyond arbitrary reduction goals, to science-based targets and actions that are actually generous to the ecosystems, employees, and communities in which we operate. 

The work of Project Positive builds on the vision of our co-founder, Janine Benyus—“when a city [or manufacturing site] is functionally indistinguishable from the forest or wildlands next door, we’ve reached true sustainability”. To be “functionally indistinguishable” requires that we design and create spaces that perform as well as an existing local healthy ecosystem.
