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.

EU der offen Zukunft

Europe a common country that stands for progress and freedom. Where people, regardless of their ethnic origin, can live and develop freely and where there are no more dictatorships and autocracies that continue to restrict life here. The former right-wing populism has become history and there is now only a Europe without borders and without individual states with open borders to the outside. The EU with Russia and Ukraine is one of the most important players in the world and there are no more trade wars with the USA and China. Climate protection is on track, the economy is booming and everyone is very happy to live in the European Union of the future. That would be my chosen future

So könnte eine vernünftige Zukunft aussehen

The focus must remain on migration, economic and social policy, and the voice of the citizen must be heard, possibly through referendums. The gap between rich and poor must close again and utopian salaries, whether in sport or politics, must be abolished. We need to return to our values, become less demanding and include the weaker members of society, because everyone is needed. School education needs to be completely overhauled, it can't go on like this. Cell phones do not belong in the classroom. People who look after people in a private atmosphere, be it children, the sick or the elderly, must be given credit for their time. The same applies to voluntary work in clubs, the fire department, etc. Everything must be distributed more fairly, then neither greed nor envy will arise. We should also pay more attention to the fact that the food industry is pushing food that makes us ill, which is really impossible. All in all, we should work more again, then we won't have bad thoughts. All problems are self-made.

La Nature est revenue

The year is 2040. In France, a lot has changed in terms of the environment. But it's from my home that I look at the Mediterranean, which is much less polluted, the beaches are clean, and the inhabitants and/or tourists no longer throw anything into this beautiful natural environment. Near the coasts, there are more and more dolphins and sea turtles, and the seabed is magnificent and populated with possions since fishing has been banned. A little further away in the Luberon, in the evening on my mother's terrace, you can hear a pack of wolves howling and communicating, it's magnificent it echoes everywhere, since hunting has been banned the wild boar population is now regulated, the wolf has found its quarters again and no longer attacks the shepherds' sheep which are well protected and much less numerous, it must be said that the French hardly eat meat anymore. A little further on, in Gap, it's winter. It's snowing well enough, but it's going to take some time for the glaciers to re-form. We're on the right track, global warming still exists, but it's not moving as fast.

Demain, peut être

in the near or more or less distant future. I'll no longer be part of this world, so I can only imagine what my children's future will be like. Their respiratory systems will have deteriorated, and they'll have to breathe through filters. No doubt the war will have passed, and the population will have declined sharply. The box system will still exist, if people don't get moving; they'll just execute and obey. They'll probably watch films, reflecting trees and nature. Women will no longer bear children. Everything will take place in laboratories. Progress will be driven by artificial intelligence, with its good points and especially its bad, not because of AI, but because of men who see only profit. I've known horse-drawn carts, steam trains, rockets, computers, cell phones and color TV. But where is simple happiness?
