Project #2 Surviving the Future

For project 2, I chose to be optimist about the future.  I believe (hoping beyond everything) that people are becoming more informed and acknowledging that climate change is real and a serious threat to humanity. However, it’s going to take something extreme to happening for everyone to corporate. Which is why people that recognize climate change and have adapted their lifestyles can come live in my utopia! In my utopia, much of the pollution is still around, but advancements have been made to collect this crap and turn into renewable energy. The population has embraced recycling, in fact nearly everything is reused. Everyone lives in tree houses, or smaller housing. Landfills are a thing of the past, instead the garbage that is created is burned, creating a heat source to disinfect drinkable water. Solar and wind energy is the main source of energy, but much of the population is conserving it for when the sun sets. Family gardens are common, but many humans have come together to feed everyone. Sadly, many people have died, so the population is smaller than what we saw in 2017. Because of this food is a priority. Capitalism has been destroyed and money is not used as a form of currency. Instead, the communities of the world exchange goods such as tools, rare fruits and vegetables, and labor services (slavery is not permitted). Don’t get me wrong humans are humans and sometimes people fight, get angry or just annoyed, but humanity remembers the scars of war and violence, so instead of violence, we rely on the system of courts set up to protect everyone.
