Après le bruit des bottes...

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

It's 2040, the past 15 years have been terrible. Fascists and Nazis were at the head of Russia and the United States. They allied themselves to redraw the map of the world. Ukraine was looted and destroyed, divided Europe was attacked. Our policies thought only of their power and the divisions that led to the impoverishment of the population. A perverted clown elected as the head of the United States and his billionaire ally have ended all actions designed to protect our planet by cancelling all measures to protect the environment. Fortunately, when the sound of boots got too close, a burst of lucidity allowed Europe to reunite, our policies to finally take measures to fight against these men thirsting for power and money and the peoples to unite and work for the recovery of nations. In 2040, Europe, enlarged to include countries that had long aspired to integrate it, finally found its way to lasting peace. Of course there are differences between the different countries, but conflicts are settled by negotiation and not by weapons. The elect work for the people and not for themselves. Solidarity has regained its rightful place in society and the richest contribute to aid for the poorest, as they should have done for a long time, without jeopardizing jobs. It's 2040 and... I just woke up...

Ma maison du futur
Always very connected. A detached house that is enough for itself. Photovoltaic panel, water recycling. Have warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally I have a greenhouse that allows me to eat fruits and vegetables that I produce myself. There will also be cameras for my safety. I would very much like to see other propulsion modes for my vehicle develop, with solar panels to charge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?
A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...

Den gröna framtiden
I would like to see a future where there has been a major change for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydropower have replaced fossil energy sources. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and, for example, basic raw materials such as potatoes and the like. Public transport has switched entirely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

Naturen er reddet
You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.
