A future where we work less, consume less and pollute less - Everything has one underlying crisis: the climate crisis

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I hope that the future has changed the consumption pattern of today's generation. This will result in less demand for consumer goods, fewer working hours for the individual worker, and thus more time for family, friends and hobbies. At the same time, it will result in less pollution of our planet.

I know that this also means a rebellion with the current division of labor and industry. Instead, I hope that the future will reward the social sector and social work better and also recognize all the work that takes place in the home - which is often done by women.

I hope that the future dares to act on the many danger signals that stand as flashpoints around the world. Whether it is wars, discrimination, injustice, undignified working conditions or psychological problems of young and old people. Everything has one underlying crisis: the climate crisis. It must be acted upon based on various measures, where the world's decision-makers must dare to act. I hope that will have happened in 2040.

Älter werden im Dorf

Anonymous

I have grown older. Together with my partner, I fulfilled my dream of building another house - after all, there was still room in the garden of the old house! It's not any smaller than the old house, but the layout is better. We have moved into the upper apartment - the office in the basement is no longer needed since we retired from work. It now serves as an apartment when children and grandchildren come to visit. Our neighborhood is constantly changing. Separations and deaths bring change. The houses don't stay empty for long. It is very popular to live in the village. People still look out for each other here and living together works. There are lots of activities for young and old, and most people are keen to get involved in voluntary work. All in all, it's a good place to grow older.

retour à la souveraineté des Etats

that the European Union's powers be reduced in favor of the national states that make it up; that Europe (particularly France) become once again a confederation of states in which the member states cooperate but retain their full sovereignty; that the Commission disappear and that the governance of the EU take the form of regular meetings of the Prime Ministers of the member states + possibly a few Ministers concerned by the subjects under discussion. That the so-called "European Justice" disappears, and that the law applicable in member states depends solely on national parliaments, to the exclusion of any intervention by supranational bodies.

Make sense of it all.

I would like to see threats of global warming has been taken seriously and measures to halt its progression is in full force. I would also like to see either IQ tests or common sense tests for people, in charge of government. I also hope religion not to have such a strong hold over weak minds.

Politische Entwicklung

Ban on religions, as these are the main drivers of terrorist attacks and wars. AI should be developed with great caution to prevent a possible danger. German politics should be completely rethought, no more party coercion in the parliamentary groups and each party must vote on draft laws. The absence of party coercion means that every member of parliament can also vote in favor of a law of the other party, but also against bills of his party, so that no party would have to come to power alone or through a coalition and a freer democracy would be created.
