Creating a shared and inclusive future for all (human & non-human)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I imagine a future that places where people live are inclusive for all species, and are designed through participatory and collaborative processes based on wellbeing and propesperity, rather than economic profit. I imagine a future that slowly moves away from economic growth and towards degrowth, trying to bring stability back to our ecosystems by regenerating them. I imagine a future where local government has more power, skills, and resources to care and address for the environmental and social issues rising within their communities in a democratic way. I imagine a future where everyday life is made more wholesome, by creating pockets of community, solidarity, and collective care, all the while work hours are decreased. I imagine a future where people of all backgrounds have equal rights, and where minorities are supported and celebrated. I imagine a future where the majority of local mobility happens on foot or by cycle. I imagine a future where we learn from the wisdom of our ancestors, rather than destroying indigenous communities and populations. I imagine a future where Western thought is not colonising the world, and other ways of being flourish and co-exist. I imagine a future where people's migration is not be feared, but to be welcomed. Because migration will be necessary, as we have utterly destroyed many parts of the world, making them uninhabitable.

Se på mig
When you sit in a café in the sun, people talk. The cell phones are gone. You look into each other's eyes and take an interest in each other. Respects differences, sexuality, skin tones and attitudes. They no longer judge each other. There is peace and quiet in the world. No one feels superior to anyone else. The focus is on the contact, interaction and respect between people. There is peace and no stress.

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.
