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

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

Futuro para todos
It's 2040 and a lot has changed. Things for the worse and things for the better. We've managed to make the planet more sustainable, to give way to gardens with lots of trees. We've also managed to achieve a better distribution of wealth, with the rich no longer as rich and the poor no longer as poor as they were in 2025. We have also managed to almost eradicate the word "homeless". Why? Because they hardly exist anymore with the new "home for all" program, in which we have managed to give people in difficulty a decent life.

Közös cselekvés, közös jövő
I hope that the EU will finally have a unified defence policy to prevent and prepare for security challenges and wars. I also hope that the income gap between countries will narrow, and that regions and countries that are currently lagging behind in development will catch up with those that are prospering economically.
