The New Generation

         "Our parents' generation had to be the Greatest Generation, 'because the threats they faced were real, overwhelming, immediate, and inescapable-the Great Depression, the Nazis, and the nuclear-armed Soviet Communists,' said the Johns Hopkins foreign policy expert Michael Mandelbaum. 'That generation was ready to fight the Korean War and mobilize for the Cold War, precisely because it had been through the Depression and World War II. That generation understood how bad things could get."
-Thomas L. Friedman (Author of Hot, Flat and Crowded)

        Although the generation that experienced all of those historical events were ready for anything, it is up to my generation to either fix or completely destroy our world. My generation has such a huge effect on the world, and we do not even realised it yet. We could be the ones to solve all of the economy's problems and figure out a way for the world to not run out of resources. It is estimated that the world will run out of it's resources in my life time and it will be my generation's job to make sure that does not happen.


When will the earth run out of resources and what is causing this to happen?
