The Lebanese toxic word is a heavy weight that has long burdened our nation. Introducing the Sancturay City, a utopian vision for the future where the inhabitants are shielded from the outside world by a structural mesh dome. This dome acts as a barrier, keeping out trash and pollution, creating a safe haven for the citizens. As you enter the dome, you are transported to a futuristic world where the streets are clean and the air is pure. The dome is not just a physical barrier, but a symbol of hope for a better future. Inside, the city is a marvel of modern architecture and technology, where the needs of the people are placed at the forefront. The dome becomes a sanctuary for the residents, a place where they can live their lives free from the fears of outside contamination.
The world outside the Sanctuary City is a place of pollution, toxicity, and environmental degradation. The air is thick with smog, the streets are littered with trash, and the water is polluted. The residents of the outside world are constantly exposed to the negative effects of these conditions, suffering from health issues such as respiratory problems, heart disease and cancer.
The economy is also negatively impacted, with industries that are heavy polluters causing harm to the environment and the people. The outside world is plagued by the effects of climate change, with extreme weather events and natural disasters becoming more frequent and severe. The natural environment is also suffering, with deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and destruction of ecosystems.
The lack of proper waste management and recycling systems leads to overflowing landfills and plastic pollution in the oceans. The outside world is also characterized by a lack of access to basic amenities such as clean water, sanitation, and healthcare. The inhabitants of the outside world are also facing social and political challenges, with poverty, inequality, and crime being prevalent.
