Ateities Vilnius

2040, 10 September. Europe has become the most advanced climate neutrality region in the world. Cities have completely abandoned fossil fuels, and each building has its own energy production system based on solar, wind and kinetic energy.

Evelina, now an experienced scientist, works in a global climate innovation lab that develops AI-powered air purification mechanisms. The streets are green, overflowing with vertical gardens, and the vehicles - without any pollution. Waste of water and food has become a thing of the past, as bioengineering has developed the most effective processing methods.

Society has also changed - the working week has been reduced to four days, as robotisation and AI have allowed people more time for creativity and personal development. The education system has introduced holistic teaching, where everyone can learn at their own pace, and virtual universities connect people from all over the world.

Evelina looks at the centre of Vilnius, where people communicate in the squares, musicians play, and technology serves not as a separation, but as a tool of unity. "This is what the future should have been like," she thinks, as she watches the sun set over the green horizons of the city.

Souveraineté enfin !!!!!!
that all countries in the world be sovereign, that the European Union no longer exist. Let's go back to common sense, i.e. let's make each country vice in Autarchy, and let's send all migrants back to their respective countries, so that peace will be more certain and there will be less crime.

Ausflug
In the year 2040, I take a trip. The ugly wind turbines that disfigured the landscape several years ago have been dismantled and properly disposed of. Instead, trees have been planted again and the birds are singing. Electricity prices have fallen again and supermarket prices have also remained stable because someone is finally in power who puts people's real health first. In the distance, the 5 G antennas on the prefabricated buildings have disappeared again because people have remembered Nikola Tesla, who said: "Everyone can get electricity for free. More oaks, chestnuts and beeches have been planted again and no longer the small ornamental trees. After I've had a rest and looked at the vegetable fields, which are now fertilized with natural substances, I make my way to my quarterly appointment with a naturopath, which everyone can now attend free of charge once a quarter, because it's a preventative measure to make sure I'm eating healthily and that my mineral levels are in order so that I don't get sick in the first place.

Gemeinsames Europa
Europe has a relatively open border system. The nation states still exist and their independence is still fully intact in most areas. In defense, a pan-European stance will also protect European economic interests. The people of Europe are trying to intensify common ground in order to strengthen and protect Europe's status.

Lavoro leggero e tempo per sè
In 2040 many jobs will be replaced or helped by technology, this means less time will be needed to do them. I would like to see us be able to divide the work among the same number of people, so that no one is left jobless, but give a lighter work schedule (half of today's) to everyone.
