Nature and engineering have feedback loops that affect sustainability. What other systems affect sustainability?
Money systems and social systems.
The economy has a big impact on sustainability, and so does human behaviour.

Lots of people like eating lobster, and they will pay money to buy the best lobsters. Some people need to eat lobsters because it is the easiest and cleanest local food source. So how does that affect the lobster’s ecosystem? And how do lobsters affect the economy?
There are lots of relationships and feedback loops in this wicked problem.
