Critical: The Six Resources You Can't Live Without
Imagine you wake up tomorrow and one of these six things is gone. Not expensive. Not scarce. Completely gone.
Water: The Most Critical Resource You're About to Run Out Of
Right now, before you read another word, do this: Go to your kitchen. Turn on the faucet. Fill a glass with water. Drink it.
Air: The Invisible Killer Costing the World $8 Trillion Annually
Stop reading. Right now. Take 10 deep breaths and count them.
Food: The Resource Getting Scarcer and More Expensive Every Year
Before you continue reading, go to your kitchen right now. Open your refrigerator. Look at everything in there.
Energy: The Resource That Powers Everything (And Is About to Get Way More Expensive)
Stop reading. Go find your last electricity bill. Right now. Look at the total amount you paid.
Shelter: The Resource Becoming Unaffordable for an Entire Generation
Right now, open a real estate website in your country (Rightmove, Domain, Immoweb, MagicBricks, Property24, whatever you use). Search for homes in your area or where you want to live.
Soil: The Foundation of Everything (That's Disappearing Faster Than Rainforests)
Right now, go outside. Find some soil (garden, park, backyard, anywhere). Pick up a handful.
