In addition to peace in Europe and saving the climate, I want us to have stronger protection for dur. I envision a future where pets, wildlife and livestock are treated well throughout their life span. I see that with AI we have moved beyond the use of animals in experiments. As a fan of guinea pigs, I want modern knowledge on how to keep guinea pigs to be spread among the public so that these beautiful and friendly animals can thrive where they live. I want the unnecessary, commercial breeding of both guinea pigs and other animals to stop; we respect animals on the same level as humans and understand that animals have feelings and a social life just like us.

I would really like to see 2 improvements, changes. Firstly, i would really like for wars, aggression and violence to end. They don’t bring any good to any of us. History is repeating itself over and over again. All these horrible acts of violence are unnecessary, and it would only benefit the humanity if they stopped. The second thing is ecological wellbeing. It would be really amazing, if in these 15 years we could clean up at least a part of pollution that we(as humanity) have made. In that way we would be helping our planet and nature to regain it’s strength again and also making our surroundings cleaner, much more pleasant.

I would like us as the European Union to be representatives of a new mentality of living the world and with the world. Starting from taking responsibility against contemporary ethical and civic issues, overcoming utilitarianism and capitalist accumulation to give more importance to humanity and the natural world.

By 2040 we will finally be rid of fossil fuels, both homes and businesses can meet their energy needs themselves. In the past 15 years we have accomplished a lot in the field of sustainability. In addition, more trees have been planted and more places have been designated as places where nature can take its own course. Our food is becoming more local, and supermarkets are trying to stock with homegrown produce/groceries/fruit whenever possible. Children now get a standard healthy school lunch where sandwiches are not the most important part. Wars are over and our defense budget is lower in 2040 than it is today.
