An imperative message that future people must discover and obey shall be their only way of knowing what once was, and what soon shall be, as long as they don’t mimic the actions of the Plutarch people.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault provides a safety net for the declining level of agricultural diversity around the world by saving “duplicates” of seeds in a highly protected environment. This is important because humans are becoming increasingly dependent on a decreasing number of crops, which makes us vulnerable to harvest failures, and could be a factor in the rise of diabetes and heart disease. The island of Svalbard is located about half-way between the North Pole and Norway, where the temperatures

Crop diversity is the genetic resource that “stands between us and catastrophic starvation on a scale we cannot imagine” (Fowler).

rate, and global warming is more of a problem than most people could ever realize. Climate change, while being a natural occurrence, is happening at an alarming rate because of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions everyone emits in their everyday lives without even knowing it.
