A bit issue in my region is the farm land being slowly but surely taken over by developers. The area around Toronto is rich land perfect for agriculture - and could support the food needs for a good deal of the city's population. Instead we're building sub-divisions and trucking/shipping in more and more food from abroad at great environmental cost!

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
