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.

That the law for the betterment and recognition of the disabled be better applied - that cannabis, like cigarettes, be sold over the counter, which would put a stop to score-settling and delinquency - that gun owners be better supervised - that the medical profession be better paid and more recognized.

Changing the attitude of important people in the state to the topic of wars and LGBT equality. Countries that cause war should not be supported in any way . They should be cut off from trade and their citizens should be banned from leaving their country.In each country citizens should have free access to medical services and for this purpose countries should support each other and exchange technology.

Life in my grandparents' time was very different from today. First of all, the pace of life was slower, and people had more direct contact with each other. There was no internet or cell phones, so communication was mainly based on letters, meetings and face-to-face conversations. Transportation was also less developed - trips took longer, and cars were a luxury available to few. Many people worked physically, and the technologies that make our lives easier today were still in their infancy. Today we live in a world full of modern technologies that make life more convenient and efficient. Remote work, high-speed transportation and smart devices are just a few examples of the changes that have affected our daily lives. However, there have also been new challenges, such as excessive digitization and environmental problems. In 20 years, life may look even different. We can expect further developments in technology, artificial intelligence and automation. Perhaps autonomous cars will become the norm, and work will become more flexible, allowing people to better combine work and private life. Also, medical developments may make us live longer and healthier lives. If we, as a society, pay more attention to ecology, our cities could become greener and more livable. It is important to strive for a future in which technology serves humanity rather than restricting it. I hope that 20 years from now, people will be more aware and caring of their surroundings, which will benefit both individuals and entire communities.
