WHAT WILL LIFE LOOK LIKE IN THE YEAR 3000 ?
As a Dutch filmdirector specialized in environmental topics I would like exchange ideas 
about the question mentioned above. At the moment I am doing research about this topic 
to see if it has potential for a documentairy.
Being connected to Internet I thought it might be a good idea to see if I can contact 
others around the globe who have ideas or theories about this matter.

So, I'd like to ask anyone who is thinking about this or doing research on the 
consequenses of present development  to react and give me their views.

I'd like to exchange thoughts, theories and views.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE TOPIC
Our planet contains lifeforms for millions of years. During that very long period of 
time things changed slowly. Various lifeforms developed, came and went but the planet 
was always able to create new lifeforms suiteble to the ecosystem of that moment. 
Lifeforms suitable to the available recourses and climate during the period of their 
existance. 
All this is based on the very fragile balance within the atmosphere, a very thin shell 
of only 30 kilometers around the globe. Less than nothing compaired to the endless 
universe. 

In a very short period of time, compaired to the exsistence of lifeforms on this 
planet, the human being developed.
During that short period these creatures in someway lived in harmory with the planets 
possibilities.
Only within the last hundred years things changed extremely fast. Population started 
growing very rapidly and started to use an enormous amount of recourses. The resourses 
are used up at a far more greater speed than they can rebuilt. For many of the 
recourses, like oil for instance, it takes millions of years to form. 
So, a logical consequense is that in the near future some crucial recourses will run 
out. Just imagine modern life without oil and its products. 
Even sustainable recourses like wood, food and drinkingwater will become a problem in 
the near future.

An other consequence of populationgrowth is waiste. Due to modern technologies a lot of 
waiste is  new'. Emmision of CFK's is one good example. By now we all know that this 
relatively new kind of waiste has a great effect on the atmosphere. Together with other 
modern waiste it tends to change our fragile ecosystem. These changes execute much 
faster than any other change in the history of life.
And it is not hard to imagine the sweeping effect of  temperature rise of only a couple 
degrees.
Waterlevel will rise... 60% of the worlds population live near the coast.... 

One of the great advances of a human being is the possibillitie to think about the 
future. Although it is mainly based on experiences from the past man is able to foresee 
consequences of todays developments.  So, there definately are some people figuring out 
ways to deal with all this. Thinking about economies growth, the rapid growth of waist, 
energie recourses running dry, transport, food. etc, etc. Trying to find ways to alter 
the huge system that pushes life in this planet towards the edge of the cliff.

What possibillities or options do we still have?
What will life look like in the year 3000?
