West-östliche Nachhaltigkeit

Until 1990, the German-German border ran through the Schaalsee. In 2022, people from the East and the West, from the city and the countryside, will meet there. They are already working today for a good life in and with nature, and they tell of a different tomorrow.

TOMORROW, food will be valuable if its production increases soil fertility and protects water. Small initiatives and farms can also make a good living from this. They are supported by an administration that knows organic farming well. All this becomes possible because politics dares to do something.

TOMORROW the forest will be diverse and can rejuvenate itself. Because it no longer has to supply what crafts and industry need, because they now want to take what the forest can. Politicians have understood that the forest, in combination with soil and water, is an elementary good.

TOMORROW the small energy turns will be easy to realise. In addition to clever coupling and grids, there will be regional self-sufficiency, and the added value associated with the production of electricity and heat will benefit the communities and municipalities.

The many small transformations need one big transformation - for a peaceful, sustainable West-East future.
