- John Stuart Mill was one of the first liberal thinkers who established the concept of environmental sustainability in 1848.
- Whereas back then concepts of the stationary economy were discussed, today the globalized liberal way of thinking is focused on innovation.
- One thing is clear: No one can fight climate change alone - we need strong coalitions and a global common path. Because we have a common goal.

The issue of sustainability is also about responsibility. Responsibility towards one's fellow human beings, responsibility towards the earth and especially responsibility towards future generations. Let us make the world a little better together and make our contribution, for example with reusable to-go cups instead of disposable cups.
