Lincoln's Gettysburg Address spoke of cultural and political sustainability. America saddled with war, slavery, political division, etc could only last so long before it destroyed itself. Today, America saddled with war, exhaustion of natural resources, and political indifference can only last so long before it destroys itself.
Exhaustion of our natural resources is a relatively new problem, and currently the most pressing issue of sustainability. History shows us here that sustainability is not a new issue, it has evolved over time.
A monument to sustainability with the longevity to address sustainability as it evolves over time?
