Hope through bio innovation

I had a very inspiring afternoon at Brunel University my local university.  I had spotted an event to look at entrepreneurship so booked to attend as a member of the community. I was completely blown away by a presentation from Ehab Sayed, a past graduate from Brunel.  He is the founder director of innovation of a company called BIOHM - the future of home.  He has used his biological mind and knowledge of the ecosystem to develop building materials from our waste so creating a circular economy to utilise that which we would throw away. Also he has with his team of scientist tapped into the usefulness of biocompounds from orange peel to the insulation property of fungi Mycelium.  He has found a way to work with nature and the patterns and forms of nature! Looking at carbon atom structures to gain inspiration and developing building techniques using interlocking structure called Triagomy.. It is all I have been saying... on the need to encourage our youth to see the connective inspiration from all the sciences so that they can problem solve for the future... buildings so all can have shelter, ways to reuse waste in a constructive way so that it is no longer waste but part of a cycle of use. Products that are healthy for mankind not toxic or producing hazards to lead to more climate change problems.  What a ray of hope to have good minds like this coming together.  We need to listen and see and act to save this amazing one planet home from a our present continued trajectory of destruction. We have to use our intelligence intelligently as this innovative team have done...  ref: Guardian - ..could biotech clean up the building industry Facebook link BIOHM Twitter link @biohmhome
