Year 2070. I am 50 years old, but my appearance is of someone 85. I suffer from
serious kidney problems because I drink a little water. I believe I have left re
cently. I am one of the oldest people in this society.
Ria Slides
Remember when I was 5 years. Everything was very different. There were many tree
s in the parks. Houses with beautiful gardens and I could enjoy a shower for abo
ut an hour. Nowadays we use towels with mineral oil to clean the skin.
Ria Slides
Before, women had beautiful hair. Now, shave your head to keep it clean without
water.
Before, my father washed his car with water coming out of a hose. Now, my son do
es not believe that the water that way.
Ria Slides
I remember there ads that said to CARING FOR THE WATER, but nobody gave them att
ention. We thought that water could never finish.
Now, all rivers, dams, lakes and aquifers robes are either dry or contaminated.
Ria Slides
Immense deserts of the landscape that surrounds us on all sides. Gastrointestina
l infections, skin diseases and urinary tract are the main causes of death.
Ria Slides
The industry is paralyzed, and unemployment is dramatic. Desalination plants are
the main source of employment and pay employees with drinking water instead of
salary.
Ria Slides
Assaults by a liter of water are common on the streets deserted. The food is 80%
synthetic.
Ria Slides
Rather, the quantity of water as it was ideal for drinking eight glasses a day p
er adult. Today I can only drink half a cup.
Ria Slides
The clothing is disposable, which greatly increases the amount of garbage. We ha
d to go back to using septic tanks as in the past century because the sewage sys
tem did not work for lack of water.
Ria Slides
The appearance of the population is horrible: bodies emaciated, wrinkled due to
dehydration, full of sores caused by ultraviolet rays that are no longer the ozo
ne layer that filtered into the atmosphere.
Ria Slides
With dry skin, a 20-year old look like 40.
Scientists investigate, but there is no possible solution.
You can not manufacture water, oxygen is also degraded by lack of trees, which d
iminished the intellectual capacity of the new generations.
Ria Slides
Changed the morphology of spermatozoa in many men.
As a result, babies are born with deficiencies, mutations and deformities.
Ria Slides
Government makes us pay for the air we breathe, 137 m3 per day per adult.
Who can not pay is taken from "ventilated zones", which are equipped with gigant
ic mechanical lungs that work with solar energy. There are good quality, but you
can breathe.
The average age is 35 years.
Ria Slides
In some countries remaining patches of vegetation with their respective river th
at is heavily guarded by the army.
The water became a very coveted treasure, more precious than gold or diamonds.
Ria Slides
Here there are no trees because it hardly ever rains. And when it happens to a p
recipitation is acid rain.
The seasons have been severely affected by the atomic tests and by pollution fro
m industry of the twentieth century.
Were warned to look after the environment, but nobody cared.
Ria Slides
When my daughter asks me to talk about when I was young, I describe how beautifu
l were the woods.
I speak of rain and flowers, how pleasant was to swim and fish in the rivers and
dams, drinking all the water they wanted.
How we were healthy!
Ria Slides
She asks me: - Daddy! Why no water?
So I feel a lump in my throat!
Ria Slides
I can not but feel guilty because I belong to the generation that ended up destr
oying the environment, without paying attention to so many warnings.
Ria Slides
Now our children pay a high price ...
Ria Slides
I honestly believe that life on earth will not be possible within a very short t
ime because the destruction of the environment has reached an irreversible stage
.
Ria Slides
How would you like to go back and make all of humanity to understand this ...
... While it was still possible to do something to save our planet Earth!
