The sea is different colours around the world or even a different part of the same country. Around here it's grey in winter, turns brown in spring then clears to a green colour as in the main photo.

So what's your normal summer sea colour where you live?

I didn't put USA or UK cause I know most people are from these 2, and I didn't want people to just vote for their own country. If it's not on the list, comment which country besides your own you find most interesting culturally or geographically etc

for some context:

This has been an issue since before the wildfires. The tourism industry does not directly help anybody of Native Hawaiian descent.
Some points to be made are that
1) some tourists disrespect the environment.

the increase in tourism has resulted in problems such as overcrowding, littering, an overextension of our rescue and emergency resources & damage to the fragile ecosystem. some native Hawaiians may feel that tourists do not show enough respect for the environment.

2) disrespect for the locals.

many visitors act rudely and entitled on their “expensive vacation” towards locals which can be seen as blatant disrespect to the culture and the residents. they step on sacred burial grounds to get a better view of a sunset & steal the lava rocks when they leave. they take the wrong way on illegal hikes - putting local first responders in danger & wasting already strained resources by needing to get rescued. they spray non-reef safe aerosol sunscreen all over the beach.
*granted- this is not every tourist but its enough to the point where they no longer want visitors.

3) economic disparities

some native hawaiians believe that the tourism industry has benefited more than the locals themselves. more and more natives are getting priced out of their homes from foreign or out of state investors and corporations. i think it is a common misconception that tourists believe they are helping the economy by spending lots of money but in reality the profits go to those corporations and not the natives.

and i just want to conclude this by saying while tourism in itself is a prevalent industry all over the world, it’s important to recognize the impact it causes on certain communities. There are other options out there!!!

His name is Javier and he’s the ONLY survivor in 2027.

in all his videos there are no people present (hospitals, malls, stores, grocery stores, fire departments, police departments, popular tourist areas all empty) it’s all empty and nobody can figure out how he’s doing it if it’s fake?

Or can it be real?

is he stuck in another universe? One where there is no people or animals?

I don’t have TikTok or instagram to ask him but my question would be, if there are no people left, who is driving the airplane ✈️ to go to different countries?

Or is there another way to get from point a to point b in that universe?

How is he traveling across countries? if he’s alone?

some speculate photoshop but they deleted just one person from one small clip and it took them hours! So how can Javier be doing it to fast walking videos that are long? And multiple ones?

others have speculated that he must know people who work in these different stores and they help him get videos of when it’s lonely?
But how can he know people in every industry? Firemen, clothing, grocery, airports? and in different countries? Plus that wouldn’t count the people walking outside the stores And airports?

What do you think?
