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.

Full freedom for each person to express themselves and vote, perhaps on open lists. The law must be clear, without interpretation and must be respected by all, especially by those elected to leadership positions. Every month there must be a press briefing - all of them, not elected - asking questions picked from every corner of the country, those in power must look after every single person, whether they voted for them or not, so participative leadership. Relations with neighbors and any other country must be good, cooperative for the benefit of all. The planet will always exist, we must take care of it but not at the expense of humans, the same goes for climate change, humans must not suffer because of it, measures must be taken to avoid flooding in human settlements. For the rest, maybe less research and spending on armament, testing.....these do more harm. People must understand the bad side of war, death and destruction!

People would be happy to live, no matter how poor they are. Executives would not ruin people.Everyone would get a decent income and there would be no need to count what you eat at the end of the month. People don't hate each other, they help each other. We don't envy each other. Everyone would have a chance for a better life, for peace.
