• Why Sustainability ? –we are preparing the world not only for ourselves, but also for
our children, grandchildren… they will live on our garbage deposits
–population in MENA will grow by 60% within next 40 years
• Why Prosperity ? –we want to have a life in dignity and fulfillment
–we need to end global population growth
• Why Good Neighborhood ?–Times are over where parts of world were isolated –
ONE humankind in ONE world
–very different cultures mix increasingly – work and live together
–free the military money for protecting nature + for developing people
–bad neighborhood = undermining our lives + later living conditions
–military outdated: fighting your neighbor = hurting yourself
