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.

A future without war, equal opportunities for everyone, renewed social ties, a "connection" between different generations, back to basics, i.e. dialogue within the family, between friends, discovering others, other cultures, caring for and respecting our neighbors, believing in the noble values of our ancestors...

A future where the focus of attention is man in his entirety and nekl his way of posing in society. A man dedicated to doing good and using those tools suitable to bring collective and not selfish well-being. I would like music to have a predominant place in living in harmony not only between physical people but also in harmony with the nature around us.

I'd like to see a European federal government with economic powers over and above those of the federated states. If absolutely necessary, this federal government would also have military powers. However, many powers would be left to the federated states. There's a lot to be taken and left from the German, Swiss, United States of America (yes, even there you can find good things) and other similar systems that I can't think of. P.S. One of the first things to do is to "civilize" the so-called "social" networks.

ekološka katastrofa
...nakon dugogodišnjeg okretanja glave da poduzmu ozbiljniji koraci očuvanju priroda, nastupila je katastrofa je nastupila je. Hunger, greed for new things and the ruthlessness of man have brought the planet to the brink of ecological catastrophe. Water, air, land and food are certainly being polluted by gases, chemicals and oil. The ecological groups which have drawn attention to this are, of course, pro-poor and greedy capitalists and their political patrons. Svijet se naso na rubu propasti, bolesti su harale i ubile gotovo polovicu stanovništva, survivors su se struggled sa nedostatkom pitke vode, čiste jídje i powietrza, svijet je tonuo u dusku...
