Contamination. In my opinion, this is one of the most pressing issues right now, so I would think that if we moved, this problem would at least be addressed. Food contamination has been reduced, and there is a greater appreciation for fruit and vegetables grown in nature without fertilisers and various pesticides. As far as machine pollutants are concerned, various fuels would be invented that not only do not pollute the environment, but also destroy the pollution so that it is possible to return later. The pollution of nature from all sorts of means: burning bonfires, the effects of war, etc. This could be tackled, but the means have not yet been found. It is a difficult and tedious process, but in a couple of decades, the means will have been found to eradicate pollution. Everyone will see pollution as a serious problem that needs to be tackled without delay, and a place for new products to be found. So there will be many new ideas worthy of funding to solve the problem, and it will take a lot of testing and trust to come up with a fuel that will reduce pollution. It will take many years to find the right tool to enable more sustainable driving. Pollution-free food will be much better than any before and will not spoil so quickly, but neither will it taste like plastic. Well, the damage to the environment will still be a sensitive subject, but it is already being addressed and will be the subject of significant funding.

Ζώντας σε αρμονία με τη φύση.
In 2040 people live close to nature without stress. I live with my family near the sea, work out every day and enjoy the environment without environmental threats. I have animals and birds in the yard of my house and I spend many hours caring for them. Harmony with nature is reality.

w krótkim skrócie co nas czeka w niedalekiej przyszłości
I think that in 2040 there will be an increase in the gap between rich and poor areas. Unfortunately, wars and conflicts will probably not disappear, and the strongest countries will take advantage of the poorer ones. I am afraid that the level of environmental pollution will continue to increase and in 2024 humanity will have to support itself with some kind of masks with filters. In addition, we will be surrounded by a multitude of robots, which, among others, will mainly be used in areas such as care for the elderly. In addition, education will change completely in 15 years, traditional books, notebooks, exercises will be completely replaced by multimedia content and artificial intelligence will be used to a much greater extent in this area. Thinking about our country, if we maintain the pace of development, the whole country will develop, many areas will be even more beautiful, villages will become even more suburbs and "bedrooms" for larger cities, where professional work will be concentrated.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.

Europa di tutti
2040 is finally the year of true European unity: Russia and the former Soviet states have also joined the EU. To celebrate this milestone, every citizen has had a free train ticket to use to get to know one of the new countries. A way to appreciate the new citizens and to rediscover a slow and eco-sustainable tourism.
