Food waste would be at an all time low. Businesses have accepted the fact that their waste is increasing our landfill and have agreed to di something about it. They give their waste away to those who need it. They give their fresh produce that can not be given to families to a company that can convert this to fuel which will help with CO2 emmissions at the same time

In the future, I hope for a more inclusive world where people can be themselves. A future where people have more understanding for each other and a whole lot more love. Why should we "be against" each other when we can be much better off standing together and making room for each other.

In 2040, the future will look more like a world where caring for the environment and animals is more valuable. Less pollution and zeroing out intensive livestock farms, the start of cultured meat marked a huge step forward for us and all living things. A change on a global level that incorporates love and hope for a better future is what I hope for and want strongly

Summer started in February. Heat waves are as common as rain used to be, although the latter is now only known from legend. People check their air filters in the morning before going outside, and small battles rage for shady spots. The beaches used to be sand, now they're just barren earth with a mutant palm tree or two trying to survive. The birds have moved south - even further south, where there may still be something worth reaching. Drones hovering over the cities warn: don't stay in the sun too long. There are still those trying to adapt. They grow rooftop gardens, paint shade on the roads. People have learned to smile in the heat. But when we close our eyes at night, we all know: the world used to be greener.
