During our brainstorming process, we wrote down some problems that we could possibly solve and then move from the problem to a natural solution. One of the problems was: How might a household become more self-sufficient and thus save more energy? This sentence then led us to biogas plants. When biowaste decomposes, biogases and heat are produced during the process. We would like to use this heat and thus energy to generate energy ourselves. If it would be possible to build small biogas plants of similar construction, which could be used in private households, then the households could partly produce energy themselves and this only through their own biowaste.

The Biomimicry Global Design Challenge calls for design concepts addressing any aspect of climate change adaptation, mitigation, and reversal in any sector of the economy. The task is to create a nature-inspired innovation (a product, service, or system) that aligns with one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals, outlined by the United Nations. They are especially interested in projects that go beyond familiar approaches by identifying unique leverage points for change, removing barriers to the adoption and spread of existing solutions, and/or clearly demonstrating how biomimicry can lead to new, novel, or more effective solutions. 

First ideas for the Biomimicry Global Design Challenge 2020! 

This short film emotionally transports the idea of how important voices are and why we should listen to them.
