Mr Florian Beranek: “You should never cut down more trees in the woods than trees are growing if you don’t want to run out of trees one day!” This simple but true definition of sustainable thinking has to be considered when you think about the future of world economy – from the simple farmer up to the Big Players. Using just your common sense – which widely has to be rediscovered – it becomes obvious that this basic rule of sustainable thinking does not apply exclusively to the use of resources.
