New energy cannot be created and high grade energy is being destroyed
An economy based on endless growth is

Unsustainable
You're unsustain-
Unsustain-unsustainable
Unsus-unsus
Unsustaina-unsustainable
Unsus-
Unsustain-unsustainable
Unsus-unsus

In an isolated system, the entropy can only increase
A species set on endless growth is

[Drop]
Unsustainable
Unsus-
Unsustain-unsustainable
Unsus-unsus
Unsustaina-unsustainable
Unsus-
Unsustain-unsustainable
Unsu-unsu-
You're unsustainable
