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.

sustainable and technologically advanced world
In 2040, I imagine a world where climate change has been slowed down thanks to a full transition to renewable energy sources and the promotion of the circular economy. Cities are green and accessible to all with advanced transport systems that reduce pollution. At the same time, technology and artificial intelligence improve people's lives by enhancing education, health and employment.

Life will certainly change significantly in the next 20 years. Machines will become even more a part of everyday life - smart, intelligent devices that will hopefully make our lives easier. Hopefully, we will find solutions to many of the problems we cannot cope with today, such as hunger, poverty. I hope that our planet will still be habitable and that the necessary resources will be available.

O consumo de plástico
We use less and less plastic in our daily lives. There are exorbitant fees for companies that use and produce plastic and consumers are also charged additional fees for opting for this type of material. Consumers are becoming more careful. Children's toys are increasingly made of wood. Cloth bags and bulk food are being sold, there's no more plastic. Cardboard, boxes, glass jars and cloth bags are used in everyday life. People also regularly clean their homes and remove all possible elements containing plastic. Fast fashion is no longer fashionable. Nowadays, fast fashion stores have higher prices and people are starting to value cotton and linen more, both for clothes and home textiles. Some say that the air, including the air we breathe indoors, has improved, as even furniture is now made from 100% wood or close to it and there is less and less plastic in its production. The future is bright.
