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.

Life will certainly change significantly in the next 20 years. Machines will become even more a part of everyday life - smart, intelligent devices that will hopefully make our lives easier. Hopefully, we will find solutions to many of the problems we cannot cope with today, such as hunger, poverty. I hope that our planet will still be habitable and that the necessary resources will be available.

O consumo de plástico
We use less and less plastic in our daily lives. There are exorbitant fees for companies that use and produce plastic and consumers are also charged additional fees for opting for this type of material. Consumers are becoming more careful. Children's toys are increasingly made of wood. Cloth bags and bulk food are being sold, there's no more plastic. Cardboard, boxes, glass jars and cloth bags are used in everyday life. People also regularly clean their homes and remove all possible elements containing plastic. Fast fashion is no longer fashionable. Nowadays, fast fashion stores have higher prices and people are starting to value cotton and linen more, both for clothes and home textiles. Some say that the air, including the air we breathe indoors, has improved, as even furniture is now made from 100% wood or close to it and there is less and less plastic in its production. The future is bright.
