Is sustainability a Luxury of Necessity?
This is the topic of the debate during Meet the World conference 9 january. You can influence this discussion by posting your statements. So what do you experience in your daily business? Necessity of Luxury?

I see sustainability as a necessity. Our "throwaway culture" will leave us without the resources necessary to invest in the future.

Unfortunately, not all companies see it this way. And, additionally, the current economic models don't reward sustainability.
