and it is becoming increasingly depleted.

problems?
Three strategies towards sustainability

Social strategies for the resolution of ecological problems
Production: decoupling of
production and natural resource consumption/emissions
Idea:Absolute decoupling
of economic growth and environmental impact can be
achieved using new technologies

Relative decoupling (on a small scale)

Efficiency gains
Successful decoupling
For decades, Lufthansa’s passenger numbers have been growing at a significantly higher rate than its fuel consumption
Passenger numbers
Fuel consumption

Efficiency – improved production
Producing the same but with lower resource consumption or CO2 emissions

Consistency – a different production model
Following the example of nature:nothing is “waste”, everything is reused
Production and consumption as a cycle

Sufficiency – consuming less
Consuming and therefore producing less
Not just “doing without”, but liberation
