3D Post-Apocalypse Brainstorm

I think that the world could end because humans have created so much garbage that it filled the streets and took up so much space that we could not grow plants anymore. Pollution would be everywhere like a dark smog hanging over everything and bugs would thrive. People would start to throw garbage out their windows and front doors because they wouldn’t be allowed any more space in dumpsters. We would have huge bulldozers and machines to try to compact the garbage as much as possible. I expect people would have to wear some sort of breathing tank like scuba divers because the air has become so polluted.

I want to show the amounts of garbage everywhere and the pollution that it gives off. Recycling is so much better and perhaps this artwork would encourage people to recycle. I hope to show people the extent that things can escalate to so that we change our ways sooner before it becomes too late.

Ten things that would survive the disaster:

1.       Cars – most people wouldn’t bother using them, however, because the amount of garbage in the streets would be so overwhelming that it would just be faster to walk.

2.       Houses and buildings – the buildings would be very tall to minimize space and you might even be able to see garbage falling out of the windows

3.       Bulldozers and heavy machinery – they would need to be there to clean up the garbage

4.       Insects and bugs – they could thrive because of the decomposition and decay everywhere

5.       Resilient weeds and plants – things like mould and fungus would be able to grow

6.       Schools – they, too, would be built very tall instead of wide

7.       Technology and electricity – I expect we would become more dependent on it as time went on and have invented many new electrical devices by the time this apocalypse took place

8.       Airplanes – this would become the preferred method of travel since you could fly over the mounds of garbage

9.       Humans – obviously we would be the ones making all the garbage, so we would be around to make even more of it

10.   Birds – they would adapt and make nests with small pieces of garbage. They would be able to eat lots of bugs.

They symbol of hope in my picture will be a small plant poking out of a mound of garbage. This proves that even though things have gotten really bad, earth still has the capacity to sustain life and can heal itself if we stopped creating so many problems for it and were more environmentally conscious.
