As we grow older, one hopes, of course, that the broken care of the elderly will finally be put right, both here and elsewhere. Help will be available at home as and when the elderly person's condition requires it. There are enough hands and time in home care. This would allow people to live longer in familiar surroundings for as long as possible. A familiar landscape in which to move around according to one's ability. And when it is time to move to a nursing home or service home or similar, there are enough hands and staff to stop and chat and organise activities and pastimes together, respecting the residents until the end.
Cities have begun to build large green spaces, for example by extending parks and building large parking structures. This means that many parking spaces on the ground can be demolished and replaced by vegetation. Trees, shrubs and flower chains that provide a variety of habitats for animals. And plants too. A living park is refreshing to visit, if it really is a living park and not a systematic field of trees. Winding paths mimic outdoor trails for the disabled, with winter maintenance. If snow and ice still 2050 are current.
Outside urban areas, forest felling has become selective and clear-cutting has been completely abandoned. Species-rich stands of many ages provide space for diverse biodiversity. Wooded fields have become forests again, with a high diversity of vegetation and species, allowing for diversity in other life forms. It is a good place to pick berries and mushrooms, or simply to wander around for refreshment and relaxation in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

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?

Zukunft
I would like to see a Europe without wars and despots. And less garbage and dirt on the streets. If there are no more wars anywhere, everyone can stay in their own country (except for vacation purposes) Weapons (including knives) should be banned. It should be possible to treat illnesses in clinics - including cancer. Affordable housing for all. Inflation would be abolished
