I don’t think our generation truly understand how different our future is going to be.
There are a lot of things that are going to be very different in the distant future. Here’s a few:
- Saltwater fish could be extinct by 2048
- Whites will become the american minority in 2044
- Bees are dying (and bringing important staple foods down with them)
- The world having significant less oil by 2040 (and may even run out completely by 2068)
- Chocolate will be scarce by 2020
- The world is running out of helium
- By 2050, we might not have enough resources to feed our cattle, so we could actually run out of hamburger meat (best case scenario: Steak will just become very expensive, which means no more $1 burgers)
- Parents are seriously at the point where they have to chose between saving for their retirement or paying for their kids college fees; sometimes, they can’t do both
- global warming is ruining the world
Wake up, everyone. The world is changing. It’s seriously up to us to save it. (If you know of any more, please add on!)
Oh, this generation understands. Unfortunately, the last generation, the ones who can actually do shit about it, refuse to acknowledge that there are major problems.
