A Weekend In 2050

You wouldn't believe what I saw in the holidays!. Me my poppa and Dallas saw an ocean fill with rubbish when we were in Mangonui it was a giant plastic vortex.

It was the first day of the holidays and my big brother was up for a week so me and my poppa decided we needed to take Dallas fishing since he is going to university soon. As we hopped in the car I heard Dallas say that at school he's learning about the 2000’s in history class.

“Did you know that in the 2000’s the water was really clear in some places and now it looks like sewage” his voice drifted off as we parked.

After About half an hour we made it to the Mangonui wharf .We saw a bunch of robots walking of the wharf, As pop went to get the dinghy I Wondered if I would ever be able to be a vet when im older. We slowly hopped into the dinghy and drove off to the boat. On our way there pop told us a story from when he was little

“When I was a little boy there was no robots everyone had a job”

A BIG wave crashed into the dinghy the dinghy was fill with rubbish like a bright yellow rubbish bag. When we reached the boat I had to clean out the dinghy.

When we were all set up Dallas started the boat pop told us the rest of his story

“The water use to be so clean you could drink out off the rivers and go fishing but now look at it all because people dropped their rubbish”

A tear slowly dripped down my cheek I smudged it away. Me and Dallas dropped down the net as we pulled it back up we saw all the dead fish and plastic so we decided to call the trip short. We turned the boat around and headed home. When we got back to the wharf I put the dinghy in its rack then hopped in the car I fell asleep on the way home.

I hope the world doesn't end up like this in 2050 we need to make a change.
