Nature Knows
As we grapple with sustainability challenges, we often forget that we’re not the first organisms learning to live here for the long haul. All organisms on Planet Earth have found a way to fit in – and interact – with others in a way that creates conditions conducive to life.As humans, we can learn from those organisms.Here at Biomimicry 3.8, we’re working with designers and others at Levi Strauss & Co. to bring biology to the design table. We believe nature can provide insights into sustainable design practices. And we love to watch as people reconnect with nature.

Green Jeans...and More
There’s a derogatory term, "green washing," in environmental circles. It’s based on a more familiar one, “white washing,” and refers to a company that may not be doing much in the way of sustainability, but likes to make you think it is.I’m proud to say that Levi Strauss & Co. takes sustainability seriously. In fact, we’re working to build sustainability into everything we do. And with that in mind, we wanted to highlight, below, some of the company’s accomplishments in 2010.

Beyond 'Paper or Plastic'
I confess: When I go to the grocery store, I sometimes forget my canvas bags. When the clerk asks the inevitable question, “Paper or plastic?” I’m stuck – asking myself, which one is better?These days it seems like everyone’s trying to make greener, more environmentally conscious choices.
