english: And with so much polymer, what we really need is technical nutrition, and to use something as elegant as a tree -- imagine this design assignment: Design something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, accrues solar energy as fuel, makes complex sugars and food, creates microclimates, changes colors with the seasons and self-replicates.
non_english: A sa toliko polimera, ono što nam zapravo treba je tehnički sastojak, a da bismo koristili nešto tako elegantno kao drvo - zamislite ovaj dizajnerski zadatak: dizajnirati nešto što pravi kiseonik, troši ugljenik, fiksira azot, destiluje vodu, akumulira solarnu energiju kao gorivo, pravi kompleksne šećere i hranu, stvara mikroklime, sezonski menja boje i samostalno se razmnožava.
