Old and most certainly not updated models and processes have been misused to change our mindset and behaviours that go against our ancestral knowledge of care for our natural world. Guess what? This is changing. It’s changing as our youth look around to redesign these very outdated socio-economic systems of how we view our relationship with the planet.
