Sustainable development

To be a billionaire once – who doesn’t wish that?

But what do you spend your money on? Today we are living in a consumer society where 3 visits at McDonald’s fill up a whole bin, where you can buy an imported shirt from India for only 5 €. A shirt whose transport needs that much energy? In a society which realizes the running out of fossil energy resources and ignores it. “Until I die there will be enough oil for fuel!” is the statement of many people.

Here, in the highly developed countries we throw away our half-eaten sandwiches because we don’t feel hungry anymore. Meanwhile in the Third World countries people die because of hunger, a lack of medicine or chemicals with which they’ve dyed 5 € shirts.

We have the choice. Do we buy 20 shirts for 20 € or one for the same price? Do we eat food which produces that much refuse or do we buy bio food which is more expensive but healthier and comes from farmers who are not suppressed by Monosato or other big companies? Do we drink Coca Cola although they polluted the ground water in India and have trials in many countries of the world? Do we go the easy “four shirts for the price of one-way”? The way on which you throw your shirt away after wearing it three times, the way of pollution? Or do we go the “use your money better-way”? The way which is the better one for our future?
