Back in the 80s they were telling us the oceans would be empty of fish in 10 years. Back in the 90s they were telling us we would run out of oil in 20 years. When I was a kid in school in the 70s, they told us we would run out of water in just a few years.
Early 2000's they ran the shit about the ozone too.
I distinctly remember propaganda stories we had to read about how if you want to go to the beach to make sandcastles you would have to wear a bunch of protective equipment, and that it was just for sandcastles because going in the water made it worse or something.
Three types of sunscreen. One for the sea, one for sand, one for underclothing. All in their varying SPF values. Just so they can justify selling each at different prices ng prices points for "fashion" when all you need is 50 and done.
In this one I'm remembering they had the kiddos put on some kind of outer rubber coat and goggles or something to make it seem even more dystopic. I think it was told from the perspective of the kid's mom who was trying her darnedest to give her kids a relatively normal beach experience despite the dangers.
I also remember them saying something like "we could tolerate the sun's rays for a short time without the equipment, which we did just to enjoy the beach air for a moment, but only for a short time".
100% blatant turbo propaganda. At least 15 years later and literally nothing's changed.
