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.

les voyages du futur
By 2040, the way we travel will have changed completely. No more human-driven cars. We'll be boarding spacious, comfortable machines equipped with a variety of games and screens. All we'll need to do is ask for our destination, and we'll arrive at high speed, stress-free and fatigue-free.

Nevalné vyhlídky.
The main issues to be tackled are migration, peace, the environment. The EU needs to impose tough rules so that it does not pay for anyone to migrate to Europe. This could be done by 2040. Migration causes unrest in society, fear among local people, acts of terrorism. Peace - calming the war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas. These two conflicts make us most nervous. Politicians should do everything to bring about calm. And the environment? The whole planet must try to improve the situation, Europe will not save anything.

All the houses on our estate are energy self-sufficient. If the individual solar cells are not enough, we have our communal wind turbines, which always produce at high altitude. The profit is distributed to everyone. We only drive a few electric cars and prefer to use our bikes or local transport for most journeys. There are trees everywhere, it's green. Birds on every corner. I work for a company in Ireland. But with home office and fiber everywhere, it doesn't matter where in Europe I work. My son is studying in Denmark. But with the high-speed trains, he can be back here in an hour.

Budúcnosť bez obavy
I would like there to be peace on earth. That all unrest would cease. We are all responsible for what our planet will look like in the future and what relationships will be like, but the higher ups have much more influence over everything. I also hope that nature will be put back in order. We should eliminate the cutting down of trees because they are the main producers of oxygen. Various natural disasters are becoming more and more frequent. Heavy rains but also extreme droughts are plaguing the country in much greater numbers than in the past. This is linked to global warming. It is not only people who suffer during wars, but also nature. I think that nature becomes enormously polluted then. Dangerous substances leak out of explosions and enter the atmosphere, and the soil and, of course, the animals also suffer. I hope that people will realise what is happening to our planet as soon as possible and that we can do a lot together. People are constantly complaining about the political system. I don't know if this has any solution. But it will certainly help if there are road and fair people in politics. But such people are very hard to find. Everything goes easier with good state leadership. There are much nicer interpersonal relations between people in a given country, less quarrels and overall well-being. However, it should be remembered that small changes can be made by man for himself. Try to be better day by day and thus create a more beautiful future for yourself. I hope that the world will only go for the better.
