The goal of our artifact is to portray Planet Earth in the future years and the relationship between climate change and the human influences. Climate change is something that is due to natural causation out of our control but is also due to human influences that increase this ongoing event. Our artifact tells a story of how Earth became uninhabitable due to the failure of mankind to take action on climate change, regardless of the Green New Deal. This was due to the major corporations that held power in every continent and greediness of money.

​

     The time takes place in year 2040 where a survivor, Emma Jones began to collect evidence of the causes for the planet’s deterioration in hopes of bringing an awareness to the decline of the Earth’s health. Evidence to the murder of Earth, the main suspect - humans. 

​

     Regardless of the warnings, little was done to stop the increase in climate change and polluting of our land, air, and waters. Only when our planet’s surface temperature exceeded what we could handle was when oceans rose to take over our cities, the air was no longer breathable due to the methane was when we realized our mistakes were killing the Earth. Species were going extinct at an alarming rate, one by one, until it was the humans turn. World governments finally decided to make attempts to reverse the detrimental effects of climate change and pollution, but it was too late - our damage is irreversible, and the evidence is in the box.

​

     Emma started to keep a journal documenting what she has seen and collecting items that have huge significance to what has happened to the earth. By collecting the items Emma plans to tell her own story about everything and hopes to teach others about how the earth used to be and what it came to be. We hope that our artifact can bring awareness and recognition to not only that climate change is real, but how our actions as humans speed this up and add to this problem.
