1 January 2040 9am. I'm sitting on the terrace, it's snowing... A lot of snow. We have those real winters again. We took care of our land in time. Since we cut air traffic, our land has recovered. And since the wars stopped, the climate has improved. I am thinking about what I need to pack in my suitcase, I am going to the spa. Since we have a 3 to 1 ratio we are living very well. A director can have 3 times a worker's salary. And so my salary is decent too. I can also afford a few days of relaxation in a spa, a health resort. The children have their own flat. They built a lot of flats a few years ago. 60 square metres. Before that, they built luhsuzna huge flats, it was no use. 4 flats could be made out of one. Well, now that's sorted too. And if you need a doctor you get one immediately, there are no queues. I work 4 days a week and so I have time to tend to my garden. We are all trying to be self sufficient. We have factories again and people like to go to work since they have fair pay. And my town is Slovenian again. Now that work is paid fairly we have enough people of our people working. Foreigners have returned to their countries. Dear diary that is enough for today. Let us write to each other again tomorrow. I am hurrying to the spa.

Ma maison du futur
Always very connected. A detached house that stands on its own. Photovoltaic panels, water recycling. Warm in winter and cool in summer. Naturally, I have a greenhouse so I can eat the fruit and vegetables I grow myself. There will also be cameras for my security. I'd really like to see other forms of propulsion for my vehicle developed, with solar panels to recharge my car.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?
A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity for them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Unsustainable plastic has replaced glass, garbage incinerators with efficient filters have finally made waste pits unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is breathable even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of armaments, we spend money on health care and equalizing opportunities for children and young people. All this may be, however, I will put it between fairy tales....

Den gröna framtiden
I would like to see a future where a major change has been made for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydro power have replaced fossil fuels. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and basic commodities such as potatoes and the like. Public transportation has switched completely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

When I wake up, the machines prepare the breakfast I usually have (coffee, toast and a piece of fruit). My clothes are ready and are automatically put on me. I take public transport, which flies fast and allows me to get to work quickly. It's not very sustainable, but it's practical. Cycling has become an activity that's losing ground because it's not as fast. Society is going faster and faster. Everything is computerized and doesn't allow for much social interaction, and that's the problem. As for family life, it's still all together in the same house, but that doesn't really make it feel like a family, as everyone is more isolated in front of an electrical device that occupies their free time.
