A future where we work less, consume less and pollute less - Everything has one underlying crisis: the climate crisis

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.

Leben im Vertrauen auf Gott

My vision of the future of our world is shaped by liberalism, oriented towards the "Our Father" and the "Ten Commandments". People should know that our world is created and dependent on a power that, like parents, loves and cares for its children. This power is beyond our imagination, but in reliance on it we should submit to its will for good and not think that the world can be saved according to our will. We should receive the "daily bread" gratefully, "forgive debts", not want to gain advantages through short-term gain at the expense of others, and give the final "redemption from evil" to the Creator of this world.

I hope that in these times people will live without wars and create a worldwide system that will allow us to manage our planet in a way that will protect its resources for future generations. People living in different parts of our world will live in harmony with nature and will be aware that it is necessary to survive. Countries will cooperate rather than compete with each other.

I want my grandchildren to have a job that they find relevant at the time. I don't want them to work more than they have time to have the leisure time they need. If you hitchhike without stress, you get better health, which will be an economic benefit for the state. Power and greed have become unfashionable and it has been realized that life is too short for wars and enmity.

In 2040, my child will be 19 years old and travelling in an increasingly borderless Europe, on a comprehensive and fast rail network around the world. From the train window, the budding forest planting projects, both in the cities and in the countryside, are flashing by. Grasslands have also already been mainly restored as meadows or forests. Solar panels and windmills flash on the horizon. Cities are home to an increasingly multicultural population whose existence is measured not by production value or income but by a happiness barometer.
