In 2040, only organic food will be available. There will be no more animal suffering caused by humans, neither for food production nor for animal testing. The meadows will be colorful again and many insects and other animals will live on them because chemical pesticides will no longer be used. The waters are clean and the air is pure. Only really necessary items of clothing are bought and these are produced in an ecologically sustainable way and then disposed of in the same way. The same applies to furniture, crockery and all consumer goods. Electric cars are used in car sharing, all other cars are off the market. Public transport is closely timed so that hardly anyone still needs a car. Instead, there is a cheap ticket for all areas of public transport. Income disparities are low. The health and care systems are first-class and equally accessible to all. The educational institutions are in the best condition, the teachers are motivated and respected. And most importantly, there is peace and freedom everywhere in the world, so no more money needs to be spent on defense.

Mijn gedachten over 2050
I would like to see nature and the environment and climate improved again in 2050, so that we have less to worry about that the difference between rich and poor has become smaller, partly due to the new technological developments that we can do. I also expect that internet Ai and things like that will play a much bigger role in the world in unexpected positive is that I do not know yet but we will see that Furthermore, I hope that we can do better in terms of housing than we do now that people can normally buy or rent a house without losing almost half of an income and that we can also live normally once more and not be crammed into too small boxes as that sometimes seems to happen now. And hopefully we have come together a bit more instead of growing apart as we do today. It now seems that we can get into a global war shipping and that makes me worried for the coming time but hopefully in 20 years it will all be over and better and it will be okay.

Classrooms extend beyond four walls, with global collaboration and project-based learning replacing traditional exams. Schools prioritize creativity, emotional intelligence, and real-world problem-solving. Higher education is affordable, with flexible, skills-based curriculums. Learning is a lifelong, engaging journey—empowering everyone, everywhere.

Births take place painlessly, which results in an increase in the number of children. Better organized public transport was introduced, which relaxed traffic jams and reduced air pollution. We have discovered a new, inexpensive way to recover water from rain.
