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.

I wish there was peace in the world in 2040 and that all countries would live with the differences we have without it being problematic. Deals should be made through good negotiations that benefit all parties. Our houses should be heated with wind energy, solar energy or hydrogen. We should have become so smart that we had stopped depleting the earth. Maybe even become vegetarians. Everyone would transport themselves on small electric cars that could fly a little above the ground.

Katastrofa
The health and financial situation, the atomic bomb will trap and destroy the whole world and the people who survive will have to fight for food and water.There will be no fossil fuels and we will have to kill more and more people for them. Children will not be born because there is no point. There will be a radioactive mutant that will feed on humans. They are difficult to fight, but the world population will have to rebuild the atomic circle.

I would like to be able to babysit my grandchildren, whom I hope to welcome. I would like my daughter to continue to work in a secure job, so that she does not have to slave as she does now, so that she can pay for an apartment and do what she wants to do instead of what she is forced to do. To keep everyone close to her healthy, not to poison people with food, medicines with high prices and all kinds of poisons in the air... So that there is no voluntary compulsory vaccination for the younger generation. So that a pensioner can at least afford to feed his cat... So that animals are not sickened, so that all animals have a home, so that there is no cruelty to animals and people. For people to acknowledge God.
