In the year 2040 nobody drives combustion cars anymore. Public transport has improved a lot in recent years, now all vehicles are electric and eco-sustainable, there are many connections between cities and countries and a great time availability. Nobody has a private car because it is not practical, when in 5 minutes you have available a transport that takes you to your destination quickly, efficiently and for free! Renewable energies have become the standard. Thanks to this and other changes, climate change has been slowed down. Companies have substantially reduced their emissions of harmful gases, including CO2, and have stopped using non-renewable packaging in their products. Thousands of species have been saved worldwide, especially marine species, and the seas have been repopulated. In the year 2040, society's main concern is not its future, but what it is going to do on the weekend with all its free time, since it now only works from Monday to Thursday. What I have described is not a possible future right now, but it could be if politicians take the right measures, it just needs the will to change. The future of Europe is the future of all of us, it is the future of the planet.

the future is grandchildren
in 2040 I will be 72 and my children 32 and 31 - I hope I have grandchildren and that they live near. I hope my kids are settled workign and have decent places to live. air and watr are clean. i hope that the weather has settled and the enviroment stabalised - but I doudt it and I think my children will be facing more extreme weather. AI will impact their jobs but not to the extent the pessimists worry. I will be retired - but only just as I enjoy work, i will have a rich cultureal and social life and wont be worrying about caring for othes (those years are behind me). I might need to help my kids finaically just as my parents helped me - but they do ok.

When you sit in a café in the sun, people talk. The cell phones are gone. You look into each other's eyes and take an interest in each other. Respects differences, sexuality, skin tones and attitudes. They no longer judge each other. There is peace and quiet in the world. No one feels superior to anyone else. The focus is on the contact, interaction and respect between people. There is peace and no stress.
