Clean water and air (Καθαρό νερό και αέρας)

The future we will meet in 2040 would like to include clean and healthy water and air for all. The environmental burden on natural resources and their unprecedented irrational exploitation unfortunately harms me. So I want us not to have worsened our access to natural resources. At the same time, I wish that the climatic conditions will not deteriorate much.
What I would like to improve is therefore the global management of natural resources – and in particular water and air – from a forward-looking perspective, whether direct or indirect.

I envision a future where labor is not exploitative, where there is a minimum wage requirement, and workers are truly protected and not treated as mere numbers. People who at the end of their workday still have the strength and hope to go and live their lives outside. I imagine women not being refused contract renewals because they are pregnant or may be pregnant in the future. I imagine a world where people with disabilities are truly protected, backed by society, and where health care is free without having biblical wait times.
It's 2040, and aviation is finally reserved for business trips for which video conferencing contacts are insufficient. For private travel, each family can fly once every 4 years.
Cruise ships have been banned since 2035.
A universal income has been introduced, funded by corporate profits: anything in excess of 2% of ÇA in profits is redistributed. Executive salaries are limited to €15,000 and dividends to the same amount.
Arbeit in der Zukunft
In this future, we all have a four-day week or less. For the same salary and with the same efficiency, we only work three or four days, half of them in the office and half in the home office. We have more time for volunteering, raising children, continuing education, political engagement or just hobbies and sports.
De elektrische toekomst
I hope that by 2040 new forms of energy supply will have taken hold. That nuclear fusion reactors in the Netherlands will ensure that there is power in abundance, bringing the prices of energy down considerably. As a result, the prices of electric cars, appliances and household use will also hopefully go down and technology can make a big step forward. Smart homes are everywhere and there are hardly any CO2 emissions.
