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.

That's it, we finally got there. European eco natural resources managed by a committee representing each of the countries of the Union. Each of its countries has my advantages and sees its needs met in a system that gives way to renewable resources. We eat healthier so diseases decrease and life expectancy increases. We're getting older. It's been 5 years since we discovered the cure for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Cancer is also about to be eradicated. We finally know what caused the Covid epidemic in 2019. Every effort has therefore been made to prevent this from happening again. We're not using plastic anymore. You don't drive on gasoline or diesel anymore. The new energies of locomotion are hydrogen, solar and electricity. We even know how to produce batteries without rare or polluting raw materials...

In my ideal future, public transport is no longer a problem, there would be stops everywhere for tram train or buses and there would be every hour of the day or several per hour driving throughout the day. Public transport is also much cheaper in my future because more people would use public transport. There would be fewer traffic jams and fewer accidents. There would be less emissions of exhaust gases and thus less damage to the environment. We can go anywhere without hassle and everyone can have a drink.

A few years ago, it became clear that the green movement of the 1920s was a mistake. The extremely high cost of energy production, combined with environmental levies of all kinds, have led to a complete decline of manufacturing in Europe. Most manufacturing companies have moved away from Europe to China and America, and so have most enterprising people. Unemployment is extremely high. The absurd immigration policy of the 1920s has created generations of immigrants who do not work and want to live on benefits. Europe is in the grip of hunger and violence.

The sun slowly rises over the futuristic city of Berlin. Silent drones hover high above the streets, delivering parcels. Self-driving cars glitter on magnetic tracks, while holograms dance on the walls of buildings and show the latest news. Lena, a 27-year-old AI developer, woke up when her AI assistant spoke softly, "Good morning, Lena. it's 8:00 a.m. 'Your vitals are excellent. Your breakfast is ready." In the kitchen, a robotic arm prepared a perfectly brewed coffee from a tablet and a special liquid, Lena would now start her work in virtual reality with the Neuro Link glasses on AI design. At 12:30, the robotic arm would print a lunch from the 3D bioprinter "Lena Biofood", which would taste like something. At 15:00 there would be free time with the hologram band "RetroStar Beatles", an AI band. At 7:00 pm a meeting with friends in the Metaverse data stream, at 11:30 pm sleep with starry sky projection "SkylineTV".
