In 300 years it is very likely that I will not be around, probably because I passed away most likely from old age in my 90s.

What will the world be like then. Most people don't care because they live for here and now. They litter, waste energy and when the subject of the future comes up; its always about themselves and not about others. The big thing is what the environment will look like in 300 years. Will it be toxic, a nuclear waste land or will it be like it is now, fresh air, nice scenery etc.

Will you pass down to your dependant/kids an land where they can enjoy swimming, camping and hiking in the wilderness?

What will society be like? Concerned for the environment, or people trashed down in their own little back corner of the alleyway.....

Carbon Footprint?

Where will the poor live? The Rich? Will they be equal in terms of equity/power.

Where will future income come from?

One thing I do know is the Canada as a country, its resources will likely be used up. Oil, minerals, forest, fishery gone. Why? Because as humans we take and take and don't give back to the environment. Maybe in Canada we will have people that will conserve the very nature of the wilderness and natural resources. What about other countries that want our resources. Human beings have a very good track record of laying waste to the environment and leaving it in a toxic state and moving on to the next piece of land, all in the name of profit/getting rich.

What are the solutions?

There are no solutions, just checks and balances.

Modern theorists on global sustainability hypothesize that for the humans to achieve a proper balance with the eco-system, 6 billion people have to die within the next 100 years. This planet can only properly sustain 1 billion people.

Overpopulation is an issue that so few want to address, for obvious reasons. Because you basically have to tell your family to stop breeding. Even China's one-child law didn't help at all. Who wants to take that responsibility of not contributing to the problem?

If the population increases, then the war, famine, disease will continue to run rampant until that balance is achieved. Or the humans will, as you say, use up all the resources the earth provides, and we starve to death anyways.

Even if by 300 years, we learn to travel in space like Star Trek, and look for more resources...who gets to go to space? The best, the brightest, the rich.....the rest of us are just breeders for the working class, some may be allowed to go to space for the grunt work, but the rest are left with the scraps that use to be Earth.

Is it all hopeless? No. Stay in the now, live blissfully happy and free.

I don't see many, if any, people on the planet 300 years from now. Best thing for this planet would be for people to go extinct.
