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.

It's 2040, after all the bad elections, the people have finally understood that they can't let the far right come to power. A united Europe has put pressure on Russia and the US, so that the people of these countries have stopped believing the populists and are electing democratic leaders. The European Union's army guards order, and more and more countries want to join the union to benefit from the protection its army provides. Wise management of resources has allowed the development of science, whose achievements allow mitigation of climate change and improved communications. The sanctions imposed on pharmaceutical companies are slowly changing the face of the companies, they are no longer profit-driven and the approach to the health of people and society is key.

Il n'y a plus de pauvres, tout le monde vit confortablement et mange à sa faim, le réchauffement climatique n'est plus qu'un mauvais souvenir, il n'y a plus de guerres ni de conflits. Toutes les diversités sont acceptées. Il n'y a plus d'inégalités

We are in the year 2045. after much turbulence, the governments of the nations have decided on peaceful cooperation based on the common good. financial resources are now used to build and maintain a modest and sustainable lifestyle that enables all people to live a dignified and meaningful life. military interventions to maintain power and control resources are a thing of the past. scientific research has developed systems of a regional circular economy that has recognized biodiversity as essential to life. ethics and integrity of character are the prerequisites for political office and are cultivated in interpersonal interactions. socially destructive technologies have been replaced by constructive methods that are conducive to human coexistence. life is valued more than profit. money serves as a means of payment for the real economy instead of a rampant capital market.
