A future with minimal clinical plastic usage and disposal

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

As an international student studying and working in the pharmaceutical industry, there are a lot of elements that I wish to see evolve in the upcoming years. Climate change and sustainability is becoming a more and more prominent issue. In the world of science like biology and chemistry, the use of single plastic is as important for creating a sterile environment as it is a problem creating high amounts of waste. I am hopeful that more biotechs invest into sustainability and create positive change towards the plastic waste generated during clinicals trials and laboratory research.

It's 2040 and a lot has changed. Things for the worse and things for the better. We've managed to make the planet more sustainable, to give way to gardens with lots of trees. We've also managed to achieve a better distribution of wealth, with the rich no longer as rich and the poor no longer as poor as they were in 2025. We have also managed to almost eradicate the word "homeless". Why? Because they hardly exist anymore with the new "home for all" program, in which we have managed to give people in difficulty a decent life.

I hope that the EU will finally have a unified defence policy to prevent and prepare for security challenges and wars. I also hope that the income gap between countries will narrow, and that regions and countries that are currently lagging behind in development will catch up with those that are prospering economically.
