A future based on the past (Un futuro basato sul passato)

In 2040, in 18 I would like the world to be completely different, but I would particularly like to see machines or means of road transport being abolished forever in the future. Indeed, my future is also about the past, because I would like to live in a way in which animals are ‘used’, but to use in a positive sense, in my view the animal in general and in the world was born not only as a companion to humans but also to help them. Indeed, I would like to live in a world where machines are replaced by, for example, coaches with horses or elephants or camels depending on the place in the world in which you are located. However, this does not mean that all means of transport should be abolished, because aircraft or trains or vessels cannot be replaced by animals, including for their welfare. So in the future I would like to “use” animals, but always in their respect, to change the world: both in the climate field, because this would lead to a reduction in pollution and thus help and stop climate change and in the cultural field, because I believe that using all the means that we can have to survive, without always inventing something new, can help people to organise themselves and open up their mind-set.

The year is 2040 and people are taking a more sustainable approach to shopping. Charges have been introduced for the use of single-use plastic packaging, so people are using reusable bags to buy fruit or vegetables and also for baked goods. They carry large bags made of recyclable material for big purchases.

Ønske fremtid
I wish there was peace in the world in 2040 and that all countries would live with the differences we have without it being problematic. Deals should be made through good negotiations that benefit all parties. Our houses should be heated with wind energy, solar energy or hydrogen. We should have become so smart that we had stopped depleting the earth. Maybe even become vegetarians. Everyone would transport themselves on small electric cars that could fly a little above the ground.

Katastrofa
The health and financial situation, the atomic bomb will trap and destroy the whole world and the people who survive will have to fight for food and water.There will be no fossil fuels and we will have to kill more and more people for them. Children will not be born because there is no point. There will be a radioactive mutant that will feed on humans. They are difficult to fight, but the world population will have to rebuild the atomic circle.
