we came close to disaster but escaped it. Maybe it took the scare to push us to do something. in the 15 years from 2025 to 2040 we realized that the future is not just an abstract idea that someone else will take care of. Sure, things are not perfect, but eventually an agreement was reached among nations to reduce the emissions that are harming the planet. A new consciousness has spread. On the streets, internal combustion cars are increasingly rare, replaced by electric motors or often even bicycles. Technology has moved on but it has also become simpler, with a taste for the essential that was not there in the past so overflowing with frills and driven consumerism.
Studies show that global warming is coming under control. The damage has been there and new damage will still be there before the end, but work is being done and successes are being seen.
Even in politics having come close to a new world war brought us closer together, first with suspicion, still fearful that this or that other nation was waiting for just the slightest opening for a new attack but then forging bonds. Only 15 years have passed, sure, the process is still in its infancy, but it is well under way.
It is not a perfect world. But it is a better world that is improving

I wake up on a warm, sunny morning. I go down for breakfast and turn on the television. I begin to listen and feel that the climate in the world has improved, that glaciers have resumed to form and that new technologies are allowing to cultivate vast desert areas allowing to improve the lifestyle of many populations. The air has returned breathable across the globe and that although slowly closing the hole in the ozone. The seas have returned to repopulate with fish and that the collection of plastic abandoned in the past is proceeding quickly

Ritorno dalla Brexit
Sicuramente più sostenibile, con le nuove tecnologie sempre più sviluppate e soprattutto con una pace sociale derivata dal rilancio dell'economia veicolato dal reddito universale europeo. Utopistico? Forse. Così come lo è l'idea di un Europa unita che non ho mai abbandonato, e che immagino anche col ripensamento dei britannici

It is the year 2040, and the whole world is at peace. At last all wars are over, people no longer fear for their safety. Because not only that there is peace everywhere, there are also no robberies, thefts and gang fights. All countries have united to fight for the future of the earth. Everyone is making sure that future generations live well, that climate change does not make life more difficult. I hope it will be so. that people understand that everyone is responsible for making sure that our planet resists the adverse changes that are destroying it as long as possible.

I would like a greener future with people responsible to the world. Less capitalism, less consumerism, less individualism with people living with fewer things because they don't need to have houses full of objects and closets overflowing with clothes they don't use (and don't need) I would like people to use their cars less, even do without them at all, using instead public transportation (which should be efficient and free) or the bicycle, which is also good for them because it gets some exercise. I would like children to be made responsible and independent already, to be able to get around on their own and help with household chores because the load should no longer be only on women but divided among everyone in the family.
