We Are Living Beyond Our Means

Abstract

The current economy is not sustainable as such. We are living beyond our means. If we continue to waste as many scarce resources as before, we would need three more reserve planets to exploit. This means we need to handle resources much more efficiently, as well as replace fossil fuel resources. In my view, sustainable entrepreneurship distinguishes companies, projects or persons that not only address the topic of sustainability and social responsibility, but also actively implement it and act as role models. We need many companies and people who are already working on the world of tomorrow today. Sustainability plays a central role in the energy sector because, in addition to modern infrastructures and power stations, we also need facilities for building and storing renewable energy and also materials for effective improvements in energy efficiency.
