My home Earth 70 years in the future
Siužetinės Linijos Tekstas
- Timothy has to wear masks while outdoors due to radiation that can activate his cancer cells.
- 2092
- I'm Timothy, I live on a farm. My parents are farmers, they produce food, grow crops and raise livestock but it's not easy because of radioactive contamination.
- After the US started a nuclear war against Russia because of the previous Russia-Ukraine war, radioactivity levels started to increase on earth and the consequences can still be felt 70 years later.
- Being a farmer nowadays sucks, I can't produce my food or feed my animals mainly 'cause of the polluted water, and when it rains it's no longer a miracle because the rain is acidic.
- There are only a few stocks of water left from which to obtain what is still clean, which makes it expensive. Access to it used to be a right and the price was fair, now you have to pay really high prices for it.
- The soil is almost no longer fertile, it has started to desertify due to lack of water and minerals. The animals are starting to die because they are not fed properly and the crops are modified, only some are still edible.
- Our farm can no longer be sustainable. We can't produce or sell anything because besides the food being contaminated, only few people buy from us, people with purchasing power
- We don't generate enough capital to take care of timmy, he doesn't even have a special radioactive suit, he has to wear a mask instead, it doesn't protect him from the chemical polluted air.
- His grandparents witnessed the restoration of the ozone layer in 2021, and it was thought that by 2060 it'd be regenerated even in the polar regions, but the war made it worse and now they're in demise
- The government implemented some laws to delay the inevitable loss of the planet and to live a little better, and introduced supplements and vitamins since there is no more food to eat, no more food to grow.
- Many foods even ceased to exist, the radiation in the water and soil did not allow their development, and the few that do exist are rationed by the government.
- Many ecosystems are no longer habitable. Few people have access to a safe place to live but others have to move constantly to other places.
- We can still grow some crops here but soon this area will be uninhabitable and the real problems will start, We will have to move to a place where the soil is still somewhat healthy, unpolluted to grow our crops.
- Pollution of water (and its scarcity), air and soil is the main cause of death. Timothy has a low quality of life but strives to live better.
- This is 2092, if there is a shortage of water due to contamination and if the soil is de-irtified, food cannot be grown to feed livestock and livestock will die, so there is no more food. Almost nothing can be bought and sold because of the high prices and because there is no guarantee that it is free of radiation. Government is afraid.
- People die for three main reasons: dehydration, starvation and disease from radioactive contamination of air, water and soil.
