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.

My ideal future.
A peaceful future with no wars, with liberal and democratic values and leaders that can have conversations with one another without starting wars and having innocent citizens suffer. A technologically advanced future, but without the harm of artificial intelligence. People look after one another and care about the planet and it's wellbeing.

Eiropas noriets
Latvia is under second occupation. At a crucial moment, the old European countries distanced themselves and refused to help, like Trump, unwilling to send their people to shed blood for small countries. The Baltic States, Finland and Poland were the scene of a protracted guerrilla war. Some of the population greeted the occupiers with joy, others were forced to flee or died in concentration camps. The remaining European countries are Russian vassal states. The USA has been divided into small states by civil war and no longer plays a major role. The citizens of the occupied countries have set up provisional governments in Britain to resist. A very plausible scenario after what is happening in the world at the moment. Europe must be united, must stop dividing itself into Eastern Europe and Western Europe to avoid this. All countries and peoples are equally important. The old countries must stop thinking only of themselves and bowing down to the aggressor.
