Very interesting ...

Very interesting conversation. Basically, I think we should ask ourselves the following question: what does sustainability mean to the average modern man? Considering our short lifespans, most of us may only perceive sustainability through temporary materialistic solutions, such as bottled-water, bioethanol or energy-saving light-bulbs. Indeed, mankind rarely thinks beyond its own selfish condition... Until it realizes that the protection of natural treasures is essential, for future generations to thrive. More importantly, what does the word "economy" actually mean to the majority of us? I wonder how many people would agree that our economic system can be wasteful in many ways. Wasting is the opposite of saving. Economy is preservation, not destruction. So is sustainability. Economic crisis brings about conflicts, hunger and human suffering. Money can not be the answer to everything, because we simply can not eat money. Maybe we need to look at this world less like a square, and more like a circle. We are all part of this living organism we call Earth. An organism at war against itself is condemned. Let's reflect before it's too late to evolve and try to live in harmony with our environment!
