Picture this in a not too distant future in a world stripped of natural resources...
A man walks home from work late at night, his son waits expectantly, “Hi Dad, how did ya do today?”
“It was a good day, but a long one son, I found a rich seam of aluminium cans, I brought up 25 kg’s today”
The roar of a vessel bound for space stops conversation for a while.
The lights dim in the small shack perched on the side of the long disused landfill site.
“Will that ever be us?” They both wonder in the silence that follows....
As they pray before bed time they thank god for the thoughtless waste of the 1900's
