Changing how Environmental Systems Work
Join the Global Lab in listening to Rob Watson about how we need to change the way that we define value. In this episode, Rob talks about how sustainability is always considered from an economic standpoint, and about how that no longer can work. Come and see a specialist’s point of view on how to think of value in sustainability from an ethical point of view, i.e., ethonomics.
