What do a grandmother’s advice on ants, a time machine and an iceberg have in common?

According to Dr Vishnu Prahalad, they’re all part of what it means for us to live more sustainably, by learning to think in terms of systems.

On this episode of the reMAKERS, we talk to Dr Prahalad: a conservationist, ecologist, systems thinker, and Senior Lecturer in the School of Geography, Planning and Spatial Sciences at the University of Tasmania.

Dr Prahalad connects different fields – from environmental management and geography to history, politics and economics – that need to come together for us to live harmoniously on our planet with the environment and the species who rely on it.

This episode is sure to get you thinking about life, the Universe and everything, from the smallest ant to the biggest systems that surround us all.
