Australia leads the world in formal water markets. These systems help direct water where it's needed most as climate change intensifies.

The challenge? Balancing supply and demand as extractions increase and weather patterns become more unpredictable.

Everything is connected. Resources from the biosphere flow into our bodies, which then shape our society and values. This flow permeates our lives. In the new AQ, #NatureFestivalSA Director, Ryan Hubbard follows this flow through a fascinating exploration of the theme.

New AQ: From the Brain to Wellbeing - Where are we flowing?

Flow states are restorative for our brains - a counterpoint to our problem-solving brains. But what happens as a society when we never let our brains rest and how to enable everyone the chance to have wellbeing?

New AQ: From Circular to Ecological Economy.

A circular economy is critical to meeting our sustainability goals, but it doesn't go far enough. Resource reuse doesn't take into account whether usage actually adds value to society.

For 60,000+ years, Aboriginal cultures have been in Australia - plenty of time to get to know the rhythms of this wide, brown land. So what does the concept of 'flow' mean, and what insights might First Nations' perspectives be able to give to us?

Get excited! AQ is announcing its collaboration with the upcoming #NatureFestivalSA. We go deep on the theme of 'Flow', from the psychological, to the creative, to the environmental.

Time for Australia to #SLAPP back. There is a growing trend of cashed-up polluters using the courts to try and silence protest, making Australia more litigious & further weakening civil society.

At 16, when a young person wants their licence there are systems in place - supervision, study, practice, road rules. Yet the #socialmediaban does not do the same. They still enter an unregulated, un-policed space. More must be done to fix the problem, not just delay the harm...
