2025 - days of fire

The dawn of a pale sun is dawning, veiled by a cloudy air.

Drinn drinn!

Fuck the alarm clock!

I get up swollen with sleep, go to the kitchen and drink water from the tap at home. Plastic bottles have been banned, while I get dressed I think whether to use the car or the electric bus to go to work.

I see the sun and choose to take the bicycle, today no car or bus is Saturday!
I say goodbye to my dog ​​Spike and go.

As I pedal I listen to the latest news with the headset.
The speaker says that Trump has renewed the billionaire contracts with the big oil companies, I think aloud: - "Fuck him and the oil!"

The radio has always been good news after bad news, they say that Morocco and Sweden are the most virtuous countries for environmental sustainability, and I think aloud: - "India, China and the United States are shitting!".

Despite the sun, the sky is veiled, full of gas, a surreal atmosphere, as has been the case for some years.

I pass by the waterfront and note that the dams that the administration has built this year have limited the erosion of the coast and beach.

We Europeans are lucky because the state thinks of emergency solutions.
We are not likely to go underwater for the next ten years.

This fucking radio!

I listen to other news on the dramatic floods in Bangladesh, Indochina and the whole Gulf of Bengal, 20 million people in the grip of the climate emergency, thousands of kilometers of flooded coasts and cities submerged by floods.

Fuck the climate!


I avoid an electric car by a miracle, I had not heard it coming, I have to remove the fucking headset!

I come to my art studio and I think everything is useless, what the fuck to do?

20191004_193135.jpg

I enter first in the bar next to the study and from a TV monitor she appears: Greta Thunberg, aged, is 23 years old, but she shows 50! So do you really suffer?
I take my coffee and I hear you speak that the measures taken by world governments are useless and weak.

Five years have passed and with his reelection, Donald Trump, he is dragging the United States towards the new oil race, while China and India are waiting for some of the three to move towards drastic solutions.

In 2025 we arrived at COP 31 and international agreements not even a shadow.

Suddenly Greta exclaims: -"we are screwed!" None of the journalists and personalities present are scandalized.

Then two scientists tell the TV that the phenomenon is now irreversible, fuck them too and I leave the bar.
I go into my studio to paint.
I try to take a brush and paint something, but then I think, what the fuck is it for?

Un tempo era Acqua cm35x100 smalti e acrilici su cartone montato su tela 2006 avalaible.jpg

I spend hours doing nothing and reasoning that leads to no solution.
I console myself knowing that I have to go to my school to teach on Monday morning and prepare the new lesson.

I will speak of art for the planet, my students have a higher gear and give me the strength to hope.
They know the problems of the planet well, they are another generation, those born from 2010 onwards.

They know how many square kilometers are large plastic islands in the oceans, and where they are located.

They do very well the separate collection and no longer use plastic and other derivatives for years.

20191202_185953.jpg

They are the ones who will change the planet, with the right habits and above all with good examples.
They go on strike when needed, Friday for Future has become a global event after 5 years.

In Paris, students have their balls full and have devastated the headquarters of an oil multinational. Social revolutions always arise in France, because the French are really pissed off!
Students from all over the world have been protesting vigorously for at least 2 years!

We are in 2025 and world governments are slow and unable to deal with climate change with serious and shared protocols.

Every day they unleash the anger and violence of young people with protests and riots, terrorist groups like the ELF increase.

20180727_124927.jpg

I listen to the radio again and some good news arrives: the government of Brazil has started the planting protocol of 1,000,000 of Ginkgo Biloba, ancient trees of 250 million years ago.

Australia will also plant one million smoke-eating trees, the Hedgehog Maple (Acer Platanoides) and in Germany and the Czech Republic over two million Birches (betula pendula) will be planted.

All these trees absorb 4000 to 2800 kg of carbon dioxide in twenty years of their life!
Wonderful nature.

20190414_081551.jpg

I go back to thinking about my young students, recently we teachers have done a survey on their nutrition and with surprise 30% of them do not eat meat!

In 2025 many young people are changing their eating habits, little meat, vegetables and cereals in abundance.

The fish has now become a rarity, while the farmed one is full of antibiotics!

20191202_181525.jpg

Young people know that intensive animal farms pollute, today they are the second most polluting source on Earth.

I can't wait to go back to school, to my classroom, with my students who know a lot more than me. I am curious to see how I dealt with the theme I had given them last week: the marine environment and pollution.

It is 5.00 pm, I leave my study, an acid and bastard drizzle slowly descends, the sun is gone.
A Civil Protection truck passes by with the loudspeaker to warn the inhabitants of an imminent arrival of a typhoon, okay we are used to it ... the third in a month.

Monday morning I enter the classroom, my pupils greet me like this!

2025, giorni di fuoco

L'alba di un sole pallido sta nascendo, velato da un aria torbida.

Drinn drinn! Cazzo la sveglia!

Mi alzo gonfio di sonno, vado in cucina e bevo acqua dal rubinetto di casa. Le bottiglie di plastica sono state bandite, mentre mi vesto penso se usare l'auto o il bus elettrico per andare al lavoro.

Vedo il sole e scelgo di prendere la bicicletta, oggi niente auto o bus è sabato!
Saluto il mio cane Spike e vado.

Mentre pedalo ascolto le ultime notizie con l'auricolare.
Lo speaker racconta che Trump ha rinnovato i contratti miliardari con le grosse società petrolifere, penso ad alta voce:- “Fanculo a lui e al petrolio!”

La radio da sempre una buona notizia dopo quella cattiva, dicono che il Marocco e la Svezia sono i paesi più virtuosi per la sostenibilità ambientale, e penso ad alta voce:-”India, Cina e Stati Uniti fanno cagare!”.

Il cielo nonostante il sole è velato, ricco di gas, un'atmosfera surreale, come accade da qualche anno.

Passo per il lungomare e osservo che le dighe che l'amministrazione ha fatto costruire quest'anno hanno limitato l'erosione della costa e della spiaggia.

Noi europei siamo fortunati perchè lo Stato pensa a soluzioni d'emergenza.
Non rischiamo di andare sott'acqua per i prossimi dieci anni.

Questa cazzo di radio!

Ascolto altre notizie sui drammatici allagamenti in Bangladesh, Indocina e tutto il Golfo del Bengala, 20 milioni di persone in preda all'emergenza clima, migliaia di chilometri di coste allagate e città sommerse dalle inondazioni.

Fanculo al clima!
Evito un'auto elettrica per miracolo, non l'avevo sentita arrivare, devo togliere l'auricolare cazzo!

Giungo al mio studio d'arte e penso che sia tutto inutile, che cazzo fare?

Entro prima nel bar affianco allo studio e dal monitor di una tv appare lei: Greta Thunberg, invecchiata, ha 23 anni, ma ne dimostra 50! Allora soffre veramente?
Prendo il caffè e sento lei che parla che i provvedimenti adottati dai governi mondiali sono inutili e deboli.

Sono trascorsi 5 anni e con la sua rielezione, Donald Trump, trascina gli Stati Uniti verso la nuova corsa al Petrolio, mentre Cina e India aspettano che qualcuno dei tre si muova verso soluzioni drastiche.

Nel 2025 siamo arrivati al COP 25 e di accordi internazionali nemmeno l'ombra.

Greta ad un tratto esclama: siamo fottuti! Nessuno dei giornalisti e delle personalità presenti si scandalizza.

Poi due scienziati raccontano alla tv che il fenomeno è ormai irreversibile, fanculo pure a loro e esco dal bar.
Entro nel mio studio per dipingere.
Provo a prendere un pennello e dipingere qualcosa, ma poi penso, a che cazzo serve?

Torno a pensare ai miei giovani studenti, recentemente noi insegnanti abbiamo fatto un sondaggio sulla loro alimentazione e con sorpresa il 30% di loro non mangia carne!

Nel 2025 molti giovani stanno cambiando le loro abitudini alimentari, poca carne, verdure e cereali in abbondanza.

Il pesce è ormai diventato una rarità, mentre quello allevato è pieno di antibiotici!

I giovani sanno che gli allevamenti intensivi di animali inquinano, oggi sono la seconda fonte inquinante della Terra.

Non vedo l'ora di tornare a scuola, nella mia classe, con i miei studenti che ne sanno molto più di me. Sono curioso di vedere come affrontato il tema che avevo dato loro la settimana scorsa: l'ambiente marino e l'inquinamento.

Sono le 17.00, esco dal mio studio, una pioggerellina acida e bastarda scende lentamente, il sole è sparito.
Passa un camion della Protezione Civile che con l'altoparlante avvisa gli abitanti di un imminente arrivo di un tifone, vabbé ormai ci siamo abituati...il terzo in un mese.

Lunedì mattina entro in classe, i miei alunni mi salutano così!

STEEM ON!!!

thank you so much for your curation @bdvoter.cur a hug to all.

Quando alle immagini si sanno accostare le parole "giuste" le Notizie diventano Arte e le Immagini descrivono la Realtà.

grazie, comunque il problema resta, e credo che l'impeachment di Trump non porterà a nulla, sarà rieletto e continueremo nel mondo con questo andamento.

Un post bellissimo, arte e attualità insieme o meglio l'arte amplifica e dà più peso al testo che è coinvolgente e il cui contenuto condivido in pieno...
Drinn drinn!
L'umanità ha bisogno di svegliarsi e di fare la cosa giusta...
