When you are 100 years old, what local secret will you pass on?
You are yourself, at the age of 100.
You are an elder of your community -- of your village, or your city, or your country, or your planet. What local secret will you pass on?
Remember, it's far in the future -- it's whatever year you will be 100 years old in. It's the year 2094 if you are 16 years old in the year 2010, or 2089 if you're twenty-one, or 2080 if you are thirty.
Many things in our world will change between now and then. Who knows what we will consider an "indigenous community" that far in the future?
"Indigenous" means "native to a land or region, particularly before contact with other cultures." Today, it mostly describes native people living in villages. But what will "indigenous" describe in the future?
Stretch your imagine as far as it can go. Will Cape Town and San Francisco be considered "indigenous cities" in the future -- and if so, compared to what? Will Italy and Brazil be "indigenous nations" -- and if so, what would that mean? Will Earth be an "indigenous planet"?
Your objective:
Imagine yourself at the age of 100, and write or record an urgent message to the world passing on YOUR elder's wisdom. What piece of wisdom about your local environment and eco-system will you want to help share with far-flung cultures, or future generations?
This objective is worth +21 vision.

When I am 100 the wisdom about my local environment that I would pass down to the future generations would be about Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park located in Gainesville, Florida. In this park an array of different animals can be found including wild horses, wild hogs, bison, and alligators! Despite the vast nature experiences that can be had when visiting this area not many people know about it; therefore, I would inform these later generations about this location so they could further preserve it.

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
