In
Year 2000


I live in the year 2070. I'm 50 years old, but looked like 85 years already.

I experienced many health problems, especially kidney problems because I drink very little water.

I think, I will not live much longer. Now, I was the oldest person in the neighborhood, I remember when I was 5 years old are all very different, there are still many trees in the forest and greenery around, every home had a yard and a beautiful garden, and I loved playing and bathing water full.

Now, we have to clean ourselves with a disposable towel soaked in mineral oil.

Previously, beautiful hair is the pride of all women. Now, we have to shave off the hair to clean the head without using water.

Earlier, my father washed his car by spraying water directly from the faucet plumbing. Now, the kids do not believe that once the water can be used for anything.

I still remember there is often a message that says: "DO NOT WASTE WATER"

But no one noticed the message. People think that water will never run out because the supply is not unlimited. Now, rivers, lakes, dams and underground water have all been polluted or completely dried. Scenery around there was only desert, a barren desert. Digestive tract infections, skin and urinary tract disease is now the number one cause of death. Industry was paralyzed, the unemployment rate reached a very dramatic rate. Workers are paid only with a glass of drinking water per person looting harinya.Banyak water in places where quiet. 80% of food are synthetic foods. Previously, the general recommendations for health care is to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Now, I could only drink half a glass of water every day.

Since water becomes scarce, we are not wash clothes, used clothes discarded, which then increase the number of garbage.

We use septic tanks for waste water, as in the past, because there is no water.

Humans at times we looked pathetic: the body is very weak; chapped skin due to dehydration; there are a lot of sore and wounds exposed to the sun a lot because of the ozone layer and the atmosphere even more exhausted. Because dry skin, 20-year-old woman look like a 40-year-old.

Scientists have made various investigations and studies, but did not find a way out. Humans can not make water. The small number of trees and green plants make oxygen availability is reduced, making the decline in intelligence capabilities of future generations.

Morphology of human experience changes ... which gives / gave birth to children with various problems deficiencies, mutations, and malformations. The government even makes a tax on the air we breathe: 137 m3 per person per day. [31,102 gallons]

Those who can not pay this tax will be excluded from the "vent area" equipped with the tools of mechanical lung solar giant that supplies oxygen. Air is available in the "vent area" is not of very good, but at least provide oxygen for human life bernafas.Umur average is 35 years.

Some countries still have bervegetasi islands have their own water sources. This area heavily guarded by armed troops. The water becomes very scarce goods and valuable, than gold or jewels.

Here, no more trees because it rained very rare. Even if the rain, it is known asam.Tidak rain of the season again. Global climate change occurred in the 20th century due to greenhouse effect and pollution.

We were warned that it is important to preserve nature, but no one cares. By the time my daughter asked how it was when I was young, I describe how beautiful and natural surrounding forest is still green. I told him how beautiful the rain, flowers, fun water play, fishing in the river, and can drink as much water as we want. I tell you how healthy humans at that time.

He asked: - Daddy! Why is there no water anymore?

I felt like there was a clog in my throat. ..

I can not help feeling guilty, because I come from the generation that destroys nature and the environment by not heeding seriously conservation messages ... and many others too!. I come from a generation that can actually change the situation, but no one is doing. Now, our children must accept the consequences, be honest, this situation of life on planet Earth will not be long extinct, due to the destruction of nature by human activity has reached the end point.

I wish I could go back in time and convince mankind to understand what will happen ... At that time there was the possibility and time for us to make efforts to save this planet!

Please Send this letter to all your friends and acquaintances, even if only a message of global awareness and concrete action of the importance of conserving water and the environment should start from every person.

This is a serious problem and some have become real and is happening around us.


Do it for your children and future descendants
