It's 2040. Climate change continues to wreak catastrophic havoc on society and little or nothing is being done to slow it down or even stop it.
Science continues to evolve to the point where more and more artificial intelligence takes jobs away from us. How can we survive in capitalism if science takes away our livelihood? There are fewer and fewer people willing to teach because the hell they would have to try if then there is artificial intelligence that tells us everything in a much simpler and succinct way but in a monotonous way that makes us understand practically nothing.
With regard to politics. As such, the world continues to lag behind more and more. Where is the gender equality that so many women struggle with but that seems to be regressing? How are we being ruled by men in their 50/60/70 years who care only about the power and money they have? Why don't countries work together to make the capitalist system (the worst of all) better? Why are the poor always poor and the rich always richer? How did we stop the far-right governments we've been denying for 80 years and even 30 years? What happened to the world? What happened to each person's critical thinking? What happened to those who just wanted to unite everyone to have a better world? Where's everybody? Where are the democracies of 30 years ago and why are countries becoming dictatorships again?

Ma maison du futur

Always very connected. A detached house that is enough for itself. Photovoltaic panel, water recycling. Have warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally I have a greenhouse that allows me to eat fruits and vegetables that I produce myself. There will also be cameras for my safety. I would very much like to see other propulsion modes for my vehicle develop, with solar panels to charge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?

A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...

Den gröna framtiden

I would like to see a future where there has been a major change for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydropower have replaced fossil energy sources. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and, for example, basic raw materials such as potatoes and the like. Public transport has switched entirely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

Naturen er reddet

You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.
