Nachhaltigkeit / Sustainability Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Nachhaltigkeit / Sustainability:

It angers me when sustainability gets used as a buzz word. For 90 percent of the world, sustainability is a matter of survival. Cameron Sinclair

The first rule of sustainability is to align with natural forces, or at least not try to defy them.

Paul Hawken

Since stepping down as laboratory director in 1999, I have devoted an increasing fraction of my time to international issues. I am involved with energy, environment, and sustainability issues, particularly as they involve new energy sources free of greenhouse gases.

Burton Richter

Sustainability is a seemingly laudable goal - it tells us we need to live within our means, whether economic, ecological, or political - but it's insufficient for uncertain times. How can we live within our means when those very means can change, swiftly and unexpectedly, beneath us?

Jamais Cascio

There's a myth out there that you have to genuflect at the altar of quarterly earnings. But it's a false choice that you can either be a good fiduciary or promote values such as environmental sustainability.

Tom Perez

We should bring in an environmental attitude, and I think luxury should automatically be about sustainability and quality.

Jochen Zeitz

With the House of Marley, over the years we've been trying to establish ourselves not just as a brand but a lifestyle movement. So it's been a challenge to get people to adapt to our new way of thinking. We're all about sustainability, the natural life, the eco life.

Rohan Marley

Sustainability, ensuring the future of life on Earth, is an infinite game, the endless expression of generosity on behalf of all.

The biggest challenge is that when people look at low price point products, they essentially invest less money in development, innovation, and new technology. And in order to innovate at a lower price point, and make sustainability attainable to the masses, you have to invest more. But that's counterintuitive for a lot of businesses.

Yves Behar

The tourism industry has considerable potential to be a sustainability role model in its role as a buyer of goods and other services, from building materials and green construction standards to farm produce.

Arancha Gonzalez

After all, sustainability means running the global environment - Earth Inc. - like a corporation: with depreciation, amortization and maintenance accounts. In other words, keeping the asset whole, rather than undermining your natural capital.

Maurice Strong

I'm not a left-wing person. I'm just a person interested in the sustainability of my country.

Robert Redford

My main issue is sustainability of the Earth, and protection of those animals and people who dwell here.

Lynda Resnick

Everything we think about regarding sustainability - from energy to agriculture to manufacturing to population - has a water footprint. Almost all of the water on Earth is salt water, and the remaining freshwater supplies are split between agricultural use and human use - as well as maintaining the existing natural environment.

Jamais Cascio

I think about sustainability all the time, whether it's with fish or farmers in Eastern Oregon.

Tom Douglas

Sustainability is a part of our 'rise' philosophy. You cannot rise if you take more from the community than you put back.

Anand Mahindra

The thing that I champion is sustainability. My terror is that suddenly we see it as a luxury, not an essential. That's a danger.

Kevin McCloud

Philanthropy without scale and sustainability is like any other bad business that will simply wither and die on the vine.

Naveen Jain

Sustainability can't be like some sort of a moral sacrifice or political dilemma or a philanthropical cause. It has to be a design challenge.

Bjarke Ingels

Sustainability is important because we all are responsible to nourish our planet. And real food should be delicious, safe, affordable, and accessible to all. All without compromise.

In 'The General Strike,' we celebrate those who bring a new vision for the world to the table. People who stand for workers rights, human rights, a just representative political system, and a new mode of doing business where sustainability is the norm not the exception.

Justin Sane

Issues relating to global health and sustainability must stay high on the agenda if we are to cope with an ageing and ever-increasing population, with growing pressure on resources, and with rising global temperatures. The risks and dangers need to be assessed and then confronted.

Martin Rees

Transparency, accountability and sustainability have become the slogans of the market leaders. Companies carry out environmental and social audits to court the consumer, and even the bluest chips woo organisations such as Greenpeace and Amnesty.

Noreena Hertz

Since most corporate competitors have the same problems with sustainability and social reputation, it's worth trying to solve them together.

Simon Mainwaring

But now sustainability is such a political category that it's getting more and more difficult to think about it in a serious way. Sustainability has become an ornament.

Rem Koolhaas

The problems of the world, from immigration to populism to income inequality to sustainability to peacekeeping, require a well-functioning supranational body.

John Anderson

As a culture or a civilisation, we are a bit juvenile; it's like 'Oh, I have all this power, whoa, this is so cool, I can transform the earth and I can produce all this wealth. But we're blinded by our success in a naive way. There's more to life, actually, and I think the sustainability issue is also helpful in reminding us about that.

Tino Sehgal

We cannot win the future, expand the economy and spur job creation if we are saddled with increasingly growing deficits. That is why the president's budget is a comprehensive and responsible plan that will put us on a path toward fiscal sustainability in the next few years - a down payment toward tackling our challenges in the long term.

Jack Lew

I wish my artwork could persuade millions of people to join a global conversation about sustainability.

Edward Burtynsky

To me, a leader is someone who holds her- or himself accountable for finding potential in people and processes. And so what I think is really important is sustainability.

Many business leaders are seeing the relationship between long term success and sustainability, and that's very heartening.

I actually believe 'Sustainability', as a concept, is one of the arteries leading to the heart of so many of our cultural transitions at play today. And it's this concept which leads me to bottled water, and its multibillion dollar industry.

Brandon Boyd
