My wife and I enjoyed two old sci-fi movies this week. 1) “Soylent Green (1973)” 2) “When Worlds Collide (1951)”.
“Soylent Green” takes place in 2022 where over population and global warming have made life very difficult for the non-rich.
“When Worlds Collide” is instructive because some very rich people ridicule the warnings by scientists that a disaster is on the horizon. Smart people who heeded the warnings begin building a rescue ship (ark?). When it becomes apparent that the scientists were correct, the rich people fall all over themselves to buy a front row seat.

A very grim reality indeed should the trend continues!
What depressing news it is on the first day of the New Year!
For the New and Better Earth in 2019 and beyond we shall have a toast! And for the New Earth, I would like to celebrate it with my specially dedicated post at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/soundeagle-in-earth-day/

Toast is a good keyword…

White or brown bread?

Brown, of course, for more and better health benefits, and for producing less wastage in the form of refined, processed food.

Has to be home made then 😉
