Olivia Bina began by deconstructing the idea that today's society is more like a web or a network, where multiple parameters can interfere with the operation of multiple sections, rather than a machine filled with individual and separate parts. This was a different take on a topic that is commonly mentioned in classes: the role and importance of the environment as supported by society. It is frequently measured or compared to socioeconomic measures, which divides these worlds, but it is rarely seen as a fully integrated and complex system. In fact, the recent concept of balancing our relationship with the environment was highlighted as one of the main issues that has led to a momentum in our behaviour and the “symbols” we carry and stand by, and it is at the root of the resistance in the behaviour change and in the implementation of measures for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
