These projects are dedicated to exploring and implementing a variety of sustainable strategies aimed at addressing the complex and multifaceted problems that challenge our ecosystems and communities today. A key component of their approach is the strong emphasis on biomimicry and nature-inspired methodologies. By thoroughly studying and emulating the processes, systems, and designs found in nature, these initiatives seek to develop innovative and practical solutions that are not only effective but also environmentally sustainable.​

 

In addition to their focus on innovation, these projects also prioritize the critical repair. This aspect is essential for ensuring the long-term ecological health and resilience of ecosystems that have been adversely affected by human activities, climate change, pollution, and other stressors. A key tool in this process is life cycle assessment (LCA), which evaluates the environmental impacts of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. By utilizing LCA, these projects can make informed decisions that minimize ecological footprints and enhance sustainability.

 

​I also worked on a project focused on rice consumption and waste management, which included conducting a workshop. As part of this project, we created a report that utilized sustainable behavior methods to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with various stages of rice consumption. We identified strategies for reducing waste and promoting more sustainable practices among consumers. At the end of the report, we incorporated life cycle assessment (LCA) to further analyze these impacts and suggest improvements, including ways to redesign packaging to minimize food wastage.
