People in Latvia have never lived as well as they do now, we have real freedom and everyone has the opportunity to prove themselves in different fields. That is why I am very worried about the war in Ukraine and the fear of the world being redivided between two superpowers; my parents suffered the consequences of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and I do not want to see Pact No 2. That is why I hope that the European Union will be able to help Ukraine make a just peace, and that my Latvia will be an independent country within the European Union. Nobody in the world is eternal, and in 15 years' time I myself will have passed away, and many national leaders will have passed away, including Putin and Trump. Putin will die under mysterious circumstances, his associates will be tried at The Hague, Russia will pay reparations and compensate Ukraine for the damage it caused, Ukraine will have healed the wounds of war by 2040, old ruins will have been demolished, new cities will have been built - some on old ruins, some on other sites. In Latvia, the forests will grow green, as they do now, with cereals, rape, buckwheat and various vegetables. Finally, the nation will not be so divided into two camps, the Latvian language will have gained a stronger position. Russia will no longer threaten the Baltic States or other EU countries, because their people will know the truth. The priority of the countries will be the welfare of the people and the preservation of the environment, but not in such a drastic way as planned by the establishment. I would very much like to see the collection and disposal of waste sorted out, for countries to take care to remove waste islands from the oceans, to take care to preserve the diversity of plant and animal species. In Latvia, people will have better medical care, a better tax system and better pensions. Am I fantasising too much? I am 77 years old now and have seen a lot of good and, unfortunately, a lot of bad. I would like future generations to live in peace and under just laws, without harming other peoples, animals and nature.

Naturen er reddet
You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.

Podróże w czasie
In 2040, the world looked very different than it did twenty years ago. Poland has become a peaceful, safe and united country around common values. The streets were clean, the cities well organized, and people lived in harmony, valuing their traditions and culture. There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the towns, with children playing in the backyards without fear, the elderly walking in the parks, and the neighbours knowing each other and helping each other in their daily lives. Local communities thrived and small family businesses thrived, supported by modern technologies and a conscious approach to the economy. There were no problems with crime or riots. The authorities have made sure that the country develops in a sustainable and safe way. Young people had good prospects – they could educate themselves at a high level, develop their passions and be sure that they would find a decent job. Thanks to a wise economic policy, Poland became self-sufficient – agriculture flourished, domestic companies produced modern technologies, and people enjoyed stability and prosperity. Society was united, proud of its history and ready to build the future in accordance with its own values. In the evening, sitting on the terrace of his house, John looked at the quiet streets and felt gratitude. He knew that his children were growing up in a world where they could feel safe, respect their roots and build a better future for generations to come.

Au réveil, les machines préparent le petit déjeuner que j'ai l'habitude de prendre (café, pain grillé et un fruit). Mes vêtements sont prêts et se mettent automatiquement sur moi. Je prends des transports en commun qui vont vite, vole et permettent d'arriver rapidement sur son lieu de travail. Ce n'est pas très durable mais c'est pratique. Le vélo est devenu une activité en perte de vitesse car c'est moins rapide. La société va toujours plus vite. Tout est informatisé et ne permet pas d'avoir trop d'interaction sociale et c'est un bat qui blesse. Pour la vie de famille, cela reste tous ensemble dans la même maison mais cela ne permet pas vraiment de se croire en famille car chacun est plus isolé devant un appareil électrique qui occupe son temps libre

Unsere Hoffnung
There is no more war in Europe. The states have agreed well and respect each other and the borders. All European countries are in the European Union and manage it jointly and consensually. There are no political or economic dependencies on other states. This is where agreements come in. Poverty and homelessness are exceptional. Anyone can call for help. Migration is not a negative issue because people and their workforce are welcome. However, people who have become criminals are expelled and must return to their home country. Climate change continues to be a big issue, but work is underway around the world to make a difference. Resources are protected and protected. Recycling is normal.
