APERION We are a single member of living species that have lived for 4 billion years. Although we are only 200 thousand years old, we started to change the environment of our home. that is, the world. Relying on muscle strength for centuries, human beings discovered natural energy sources (fossil fuels) and learned how to process them. Living conditions, which became easier with the use of energy, increased the migration from the village to the city .In 60 years, the world population has tripled. More than 2 million people moved to the cities. Increasing population, uncontrolled growth and migration, use of fossil fuels, destruction of forests, pollution of waters, caused climate change. Shipping, industrial activity and destruction of agricultural areas; increased the rate of greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide. The whole ecosystem has changed. Today, 1 billion people do not have access to clean water. 1 in 4 mammals, 1 in 8 birds and 1 in 3 amphibians are in danger of extinction.1 3 million hectares of forest disappear every year. More than half of the fishing grounds are gone. 1 in 10 rivers do not mix in the sea in a few months of the year. Half of the marshes were dried. Despite all this, it is in our hands to change the future and write the next scene. We have to prepare for the next centuries. We must start acting again as part of this nature, not like its owner. In addition, we must keep up with the developing and changing technological and scientific advances. We should review our fue and vehicle technology. Rather than focusing on a single scenario, we prefer to learn to move with nature and to keep up with technology in mobility. By not using fossil fuel, we can produce hydrogen fuel powered vehicles, the cleanest, simplest and most abundant element in the world. The water and hydrogen cycle takes us to an endless renewable cycle. Considering the wrong decisions and settlements we made about nature in time, we aim to take nature into solution and act as if it is alone. We believe that we will overcome the possible epidemics, disasters, food and hunger problems of the coming years by acting with nature. It is up to us to write the next scene
