On June 12, 2036, the UN decreed a ban on any vehicle being powered by fossil fuels, a huge factor in climate change. The ban - called the International Ban on Carbon Emitting Vehicles - was designed to stop greenhouse gasses, one of the key components of climate change. This announcement threw the world into sheer panic, but the UN tried to help everyone figure it out quickly.

With fossil fuels eliminated from common transportation, everything had to become electric. This meant making cars, busses, planes, etc. all-electric. Solar and wind energy were the most common ways to make something electric. Many solar panels and wind turbines were installed during this time as well.

Now that greenhouse gasses have been put on pause, the marine life continues to grow and expand throughout the oceans and our earth is generally healthier. All we have to do now is keep moving forward and not erase the steps we took to move forward.
