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.

Today is December 31, 2040, I will move on to another year, but the one they went through was super good, the world on the street is happy, we all have stable jobs, those who take care of our health do everything to keep us healthy. Our children had the opportunity to complete higher education and are now employed by world-renowned companies. The future is beautiful, we will always be a united Eurpopa!

Health care is of high quality in the public sector and you don't have to wait long for surgeries and examinations. Mondern, well-equipped and clean environment. The education system is also at a high level. Well-equipped schools and many qualified professionals. More attention to nature, lots of green areas in cities.

I would like the "world of the future" to be more about connection between beings (animals, people, nature). I'd like people to be able to live more in community and with each other, to look at others with compassion and for economic interests not to take precedence over the basic needs of humanity, of people... From the point of view of education, I would particularly like to see Portugal work on the concept of autonomy, entrepreneurship and creativity in education, providing the children of today (the adults of the future) with the necessary skills for change!

I imagine that in 2040 there will be no more cars polluting the air, we will use renewable energy and the earth will be greener and healthier. We will be freer and happier. We will give up meat from animals raised in inhumane conditions and focus on quality not quantity. At least that's my hope.
