Humans were not always like this. We use to be careless of our planet. Discarding of what we no longer whanted or needed, killing the plants growing from beneath the grounds soil. We were destroying the planet. Until years later a scientist by the name of Albert Clark, designed a new invention. An invention that could help us solve climate change, and save the planet. And now in today’s day to day...
Grandma had once told me about her childhood home.
It was a cozy, ranch-style house in what used to be the Midwest. She described having a huge garden planted below her bedroom window, and that she would watch her tomatoes and carrots everynight like clockwork, anxiously waiting for them to grow.
She would have to drive with her father in something called a “Ford” down to a nursey 30 whole minu...
Earth, is no more. At least, not the earth they tell us about in the historical records. Few photographs remain of the world before the Greenhouse Initiative. From what I’ve gathered the world was lush and green bursting with life and vegetation. Rivers stretched out like the veins of the earth and water fell from the sky, hydrating the soil of the ground. Sunlight kissed your skin with warm rays ...
I was just strolling through the park one late night taking in the fresh air and enjoying the cool breeze. The sound of the windmills slowly turning to the beat of the breeze was a soothing sound to enjoy while walking down the lightly lit pathway that ran alongside the river in the middle of town. The department of sanitation was almost gonna be put out of business because of the lack of trash ...
I am the only one here.
Each of us, sectioned off and quartered.
Each of us, assigned a city.
Each of us,
alone.
There was not enough space on the ships.
Many simply couldn’t handle the journey.
We unsuccessfully tried to recolonise.
We planted the seeds as instructed.
A worthless purpose.
I let out a heavy sigh.
We received transmissions from back home,
saw them on the video feed.
Overj...
The air was crisp and clean. A breeze played over her face. She sighed, content
If anyone were to tell her this place was all artifice, a manufactured facsimile of a world now lost, she wouldn’t believe them.
Tell me how this sky, these trees, this landscape is not real. It was the only reality she had ever known
Earth, the old earth, long since stripped bare and destroyed. Ancient history, no lo...
Part One
The streets were a lime green color, tall buildings with rooftoop gardens and lots of glass. People stroll around wearing recycled clothing. Cars run on plant based fuel. The city is pretty much perfect. No crime and no enemies. The government is fair and good. The only flaw is that no one can leave. And that was fine. Until one unfortunate day…...
Dear 2024
I am a gardener.
Now you people of the past are going to think that is the stupidest thing ever. And it was.
But now we gardeners are the highest of the high, at the same level as the city officials.
They take care of the people and we take care of the environment.
Now I guess we can’t take all the credit. You would be surprised what community work can do. And all of the fresh air. The ...
I’m Eli I had a dream. The place was so green and It had tall glorious towers and they all had domes
It was hopeful and beautiful. There was solar panels everywhere. There were encouraging signs everywhere. There was grass and trees implants everywhere you could look. It’s a disappointment that none of this will ever happen. 
Eli tried to re-create this. He spent billions and trillions of dolla...
Ever since the ecoism movement, cities were so quiet. The bustle of cars halted to the fainter footfalls of pedestrians. The hum of generators and crashes of cranes non-existing. And in the sounds that did exist the calls of pedestrians, the melodies leaking out from doors - the stream of trees and brush atop the buildings and through streets absorbed this noise, creating a damp loom over the worl...
