Yet, there is a well-documented part of our history where we lived in symbiotic harmony with nature. First nations and ancient civilizations had a visceral sense of reverence towards nature and an acute "environmental" intelligence. One prime example of this is the integration of circularity. One can trace circular economy to first nations' basic rules of communication and economics. The law of the circle is an essential notion of Native American culture. Native Americans understood the elemental values of the circle. The circle has no end and holds that which cannot be broken. It is universal and omnipresent and symbolic of the life cycle. The circle is also symbolic of equality, where no being is more prominent than any other being. An essential integration of this circularity can be observed today with the rise of circular economy schemes. In a linear economy, raw natural resources are taken, transformed into products, and then disposed of. A circular economy model aims to close the gap between our cycle of production and the cycles of the earth. This means, to compost, transform, reuse, remanufacture, and recycle whenever possible. It also means cutting off the use of chemical substances (another way to help regenerate) and vastly investing in renewable energy. We are presumably adapted to live in a green and organic environment, and we are hardwired for connection. Connectivity is found everywhere in nature. Biomimetics data could provide thousands of similarities between man and the vast flora and fauna with whom we share this planet. (...) Nature appears to have qualities useful for stress relief, mental restoration, and physical recovery. We have forgotten that our health and the health of the earth are inseparable. Being environmentally intelligent means bringing back nature reflexes into our lives and keep them there for generations to come. We must relearn our innate connection and intelligence to our environment. » Nora Gherbi」1月7日 4時28分
