In 2040, the future of the traffic issue in Greece will differ. There will be more parks and gardens in the centre of cities and roads will have been reduced. The traffic will be in electric-powered cars, which will be available for hire so that every citizen can park their car and move with their rental car. The car parks will be located at the entrance to the city centre and will be available free of charge. The journey will be by electric bicycles, scooters and cars, and the money from the rental of electric vehicles will be used to maintain gardens and parks. Shops will operate easily and shop owners will use alternative energy sources for their shops. Citizens will work in decentralised businesses and the city centre will be at the moment of their day’s leisure with poles in gardens, parks, sports activities, public libraries, free chek up health for citizens, but also spaces with speeches on issues of concern to society at both economic, political and social level.
The Communication will be an action and plastic packaging will be reduced by 80 %.
Citizens will be able to feed themselves from the gardens located in the centre as there are tables and trees that produce fruit for all citizens.
There will be no homeless fellow citizens because there will be shelters for them and will meet their needs in return for working in and maintaining them in the best way. This will also be productive and living in good conditions.
With regard to technology everywhere, computers and mobile phones will be available so that at any time a citizen can contact abroad and be informed or working in a nature- and human-friendly environment.

Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.
In 2040, the world has returned to its roots. Families are strong again, with men as providers, earning fair wages for a four-hour workday—enough to support their loved ones comfortably. There is no more endless striving, no exhausting rat race. Life moves at a natural rhythm. Consumerism has been replaced by mindful living. People buy only what they need, and nothing is wasted. Food is grown by local communities, free from corporate control. Every family has a home, built with care, not mass-produced for profit. The sprawling, soulless cities of the past are gone, replaced by self-sufficient villages where neighbors know and support each other. With less work and more time, people reconnect—with nature, with tradition, with family. Children grow up with their mothers at home, learning real values. The world is simpler, freer, and more human. Civilization has not collapsed—it has been restored.

Europa di tutti
2040 is finally the year of true European unity: Russia and the former Soviet states have also joined the EU. To celebrate this milestone, every citizen has had a free train ticket to use to get to know one of the new countries. A way to appreciate the new citizens and to rediscover a slow and eco-sustainable tourism.

A healthier future. It will be possible to replace all sick human organs with artificial ones, even in the brain it will be possible to make certain adjustments. The age of people will be extended, people will be able to work much longer, and demographic problems will be solved. The number of people on earth will stop increasing, and we will eat mostly artificial food.

What I would like to see is a society in which everybody is living together and taking care of each other.It's no longer I but we. We take care of each other, the environment instead of the current life in which I is the most used word. We have taken a big economic downfall to reach it yet life is better, Life is harder yet more joyful. That's what I wish and hope for.
