~My 1st entry for the #Planetorplastic contest by Natural Geographic~ 120 years from now on, the world has changed dramatically. The pollution of the oceans led to a planet without clean and clear water. The natural source of life has been destroyed by the ignorance of humanity. But still the human race survived and was able to create a community far away from the now toxic and heavily soiled bodies of water.
