60% for nature

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

60% of our reserved for nature, an official law accepted in 2030, when climate change was at its worst. And 40% for 'human' use.

Humans used to claim all land, for housing, roads, agriculture, while leaving little pieces to create some 'green'.....We where fighting for land, everybody wanted their piece. Understandably, as this was the way we looked at living and owning stuff. This happily changed. We had to, because in 2028 climate change was at its worst. We started to realise that we are not 'supreme' as a spieces, but part of the beautiful natural world that is around us.

It was quite a struggle to pass this initiative, but as Bhutan, a little country in the Himalaya area, had already successfully integrated such an initiative in the early 20ths, we knew it was possible. And saw the results of more connected and happy people.

First of all, I would wish for peace, no more wars. Diseases should be easier to cure, people should be able to live well without having to think about how to afford rent, electricity, gas and food. We should welcome immigrants who make an effort to adapt to our country, go to work and be grateful to live here. Criminals should be deported immediately to preserve our security. Cars should perhaps be able to drive themselves. The environment should improve so that our children and grandchildren have a better climate. Politicians should also take care of the average wage earner, because they have absolutely no idea how these people are constantly struggling to survive.

End is coming
Everywhere people are rushing. New technology show them that they have to invest the time to be better and better every day. We have the help from al intelligence so we don't need to think too much what making us more lazy,more stupid. When anything is happening we don't know what to do. And climate is changing so a lot of people dying so it's so scary. People are loosing everything, it's very hard to recover

Energy supply secured in Europe, i.e. each country takes responsibility for supplying itself with the energy it needs. Many nuclear power plants or what works in each country. Free movement within Europe but not free movement to Europe from Africa, Arab countries etc. We need to integrate everyone who has come here first. In balance between electric cars and fossil fuel cars, I mean cars and trucks. Every country should work to become self-sufficient in food and what else we may need. Crime is non-existent because everyone has gone there so the prisons are full: The population within Europe is mentally stable, everyone gets help before something terrible happens. No more wife beaters, school shootings, suicides. That study results and student satisfaction are high but at the same time that blue collar jobs and other care professions are highly valued so that we do not have a society filled with engineers, etc. That researchers have managed to solve the problem of pain, cancer, menopause, osteoarthritis, etc.

Una normale giornata nel 2040
4 April 2040. It's a day like any other: I leave home and comfortably reach my office thanks to the 44, an electric bus that allows me not to stress driving and to relax listening to the news from the world that go by wire. For lunch, I spend an hour in nature, eating in the park near the office, in one of the many areas equipped with benches, tables and baskets for separate collection. I can always feel connected thanks to the public wi-fi coverage of the city and, thanks to this, I organize and book an aperitif with my friends to unplug after a day of work.
