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.

Schluss mit rassistischem Faschismus
I hope that Europe and the world have freed themselves from the current shift to the right and fascist tendencies and that we live in an open world. A world in which minorities are not excluded and threatened, but welcomed with open arms. A world without homophobia, racism, ableism and other forms of discrimination. A world in which people who need protection get it.

Nur Frieden
In this future world, there will be no more wars and violence. All people live happily together and are there for the weak. In this new world, there will be no need for police officers or prisons. Just as there will be no more weapons in the future. All people are simply peaceful because the criminal gene has been removed. No one will have to be afraid or worried about anything anymore.

Eine saubere Welt
In 2040, there will be more renewable, clean energy sources, cities will be greener and predominantly electric, self-driving vehicles will be on the road. People will distance themselves more from each other and meet mainly in the metaverse, local retail will hardly exist anymore, as VR and AI will make online shopping even more of an experience and, above all, more convenient, as you will no longer have to leave the house.

I hope that the future will bring something better, but I doubt it.I would like a world where people decide for themselves how they want to live, what they want to eat and drink.A world without a group of people deciding about the lives of others, like the EU and its members.A world that should offer work to everyone with adequate pay .So that people can live contentedly on their wages and be happy .So that they are not enslaved by debt because housing is not affordable.Also education for talented children when they don't have rich parents are out of luck .Simply put a fair world without a certain group of people enriching themselves at the expense of others as it is now .I don't want a world in which artificial intelligence will dictate.I don't want a world where normal food is replaced by artificial powders, as it is slowly being replaced now. I don't want a world where some domestic robot will dictate to me what to do and when to do it, and I don't want it to get worse and worse.
