I imagine that in 2020...
Hopefully everyone have realized that our planet earth is our home, and that we need to take care of it; that we all (human, plants an animals) depend on each other and we have to respect each other.
Hopefully we'll be living a more spiritual life and we'll be helping each other in every way we can. We'll live in sustainable houses and working and creating social responsibles industries and enterprises.
Every kid will have education, everyone will be treated with respect.… Continue

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
