Entry no.2, Remains of our time

Maybe the 21st century will be known as the time in history when the famous "Waste era" came to an end. The period for this short, but for human civilization almost devastating, period started in the 19th century. During less than 200 hundred years humankind managed to create so much waste and pollution that the environment on Earth was severely damaged.

When digging in the ground in the 31 st century archeologist probably can find evidence of a sudden change in climate. They will also come upon huge deposits of waste, the sad testament of our time. These remains will mainly be of the kind that is non hazardous since the most toxic and environmentally threatening have already been cleaned up several hundred of years earlier.

I really hope that the Waste era came to an end in the 21st century and that following generations managed to clean up after us. Otherwise there might not be any excavations of our remains in the 31st century!
