With the idea of sustainability in mind, transportation across Chroniko will be through more…

Less than one percent of all the water on Earth is drinkable to humans. Considering, then, that the Earth itself is about seventy percent water, even less than one percent is still quite a bit of water to work with; however, it does mean that humans are working with a very limited amount of drinkable water.

Calories A calorie is the unit used to measure the energy-producing value of food.

longer strive. Another contributor to the crisis in the water supply is the amount of acid rain that falls from the sky. Too much of acid water can inhibit plant growth and create soil damage that wouldn’t be able to be repaired until eons pass. Oil also contributes with a much higher cost and oil is leaked by shipping, drilling, laying pipeline, and moving the substance. Oil removes the insulating ability of fur-coated mammals, and the water repellency…
