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.

What I want the future to be in 2040 is not necessarily what it is likely to be... Artificial intelligence will take over a lot from humans. Let's be happy until it wakes up ( if it hasn't already ). It might be useful in medicine. The field of medicine is in dire need of change, the question is whether they are going in the right direction

Over a long period of years, the situation in the world has started to improve. It did not go quickly and smoothly. It took time, will and resistance to be as it is today. In the face of nature's great warnings to wake up and make the world a better place, we have decided to work. We have reduced the use of fossil fuels (almost sparking), limited the use of plastics, and realised how important it is to take care of waste. And, over the last 10 years, we have reduced our gas emissions, and we are stopping the earth from heating up by deforesting the forest. Nature is beginning to recover, there is less bad weather, the climate is returning to normal, and we are back to four seasons.
