You arrived in the land of the future. Look around! Everywhere until the horizon, you’ll see the survivors, metallic robotic trees that tried for a long time to recover part of the atmosphere generating oxygen and obtaining water. After many centuries of pollution and radiation most of the life on the planet disappeared. These trees of life are still there, waiting for a miracle, for a new opportunity for the plants to grow. The question is: do the plants and the rest of the life on the planet have a second chance? The future is a place that we don’t need to find, it will come to us. We don’t know how long it will take but we know for sure is coming. Let’s travel around the world raising awareness on environmental issues, maybe when we will arrive in the land of the future it will be different, we the plants will be graceful.
