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 look forward to a future with plenty of green energy, in which people can move without limits, and my resolution is to make sure that there is no rancour, complacency and impatience among people, that plenty of food and water should be available to all people, and that there should be no great differences between rich and poor, that eaters should not be in pursuit of profit and thus exploit people, that if the pace of life is slowed down and people think about how to protect the planet from depletion and in this way contribute to their own union, that it does not become a nuclear circle and a circle for the mass destruction of the people, that people are brought together in an interdependent way and that if international organisations such as the European police and army are watched over

I think that in the future most of the jobs will have robots to do them like cashier or cleaners. The cars will be mostly electric and we will do everything from our phones such as clothes shopping and it will tell you what size you should buy based on your body measures
