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.

In 2040, we are paying much more attention to environmental and climate issues. We are also feeling the changes on our own skin - we are not able to cool our homes and workplaces to comfortable temperatures because we do not have enough electricity to do so. We work much less than we do today. 5x8h / week is a thing of the past, now we work 3 days a week, we have more time for self-development, volunteering, taking care of the neighborhood. We are facing great migratory pressure. Further we don't know what to do about it. Every country has its own idea about it.

Stati Uniti d'Europa

In 2040 I would like Europe to finally be a federal state, with salaries aligned between countries, a common defence, a common green deal spending and a single administrative/migrant flow policy and economy. Finally there will be no more thermal engines but only pure electric and hydrogen

L'union

In 2040, Europe became a country in its own right and a great nation respected and listened to by others. It faces ecological challenges and adapts to climate change. AI has evolved to the point of being integrated into the political world and ensures a balance throughout the country through reasoned choices! Mobility has also changed significantly: our vehicles are no longer limited to roads only and are no longer necessarily grounded! driving is automatic, which solves the problem of accident-related mortality! Wars have ceased and the world, in the face of radical climate change , is set to reverse the trend... our concrete cities are greening, and the population is becoming aware of the fauna and flora. Space explorations are finally coming to Mars and a station is being created on this planet to welcome the next astronauts.

Le futur reviens au passé

J'aimerais que le futur ressemble légèrement au passé. Qu'on se soit aperçu que la nouvelle technologie ai trop changer notre vie. Qu'on revienne à une vie plus traditionnel, avec les enfants qui jouent entre eux plutôt que tout le temps dans leurs smartphone. Que les prix des produits baisse au lieu de sans cesse augmenter....
