Family first

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 I will have a 19, a 24 and 26 year old. I hope that we are able to stay close as a family. We would be able to live in close proximity with each other so I can help my children start their own lives. House prices are more reasonable so they don't have to move far away. I can see them often, child mind my grandchildren and travel with them. I don't want my children to be swamped with debt from huge mortgages, I want them to be able to continue their careers after having children and not have to give up work because of lack of affordable childcare. I us to able to travel together both locally and on ferry to France and UK without it being cheaper to get a flight to Spain for a week than stay locally for a weekend. I want our local government to put people first, building communities instead of just houses. I want my children not to have to worry about going to the doctors because it's too expensive or where will their children go to school because there isn't enough spaces for the amount of houses built. I want my children to be happy and to be able to make memories with them. I want my future to be family!

Emissionsfreie Zukunft
During this time, people's transportation problem is solved. Around the world, local public transport has been extended to villages and is free for everyone. The means of transportation are all emission-free and private transport mostly consists of self-driving electric cars that can be booked by other people via an app when they are not being used by their owners. CO2 emissions have been reduced to a minimum by using renewable energies as an adequate source of energy in all sectors of life.

Brave New Europe
It is year 2040 and the Europe lands are at peace. We live in Europe, where there is no war but rather strict rules and great consequences for those who break them. The power of the elite is spread among different countries so that none of them have the prevailing power to take over whatever he desires. At the same time though, people who are willing to take action in their lives, are being enabled so, by running the waters of capitalism. There are barely any resources for the people who are whining about their neighbours’s grass being greener, and are only bringing irrelevant issues into the mix, while people who seek for new ways, and are ready to be financially elevated, are provides with such resources.

Trajnostna prihodnost
In 2040, I want a future where technology, environment and society are in balance. Sustainable development would be a key goal: energy would be almost exclusively renewable and urban spaces would be designed with more green spaces and clean air. Smart infrastructure would allow efficient use of resources and reduce pollution. Society would be fairer, with equal opportunities for all, where access to quality education and healthcare would become a universal right. Technology would serve human needs and artificial intelligence would help tackle global challenges such as climate change. A better balance between work and leisure would also be important, with a greater emphasis on social cohesion and care for the planet. This would be a future where people are more compassionate, responsible and connected to nature.

Eine Welt für alle Lebewesen
A world without so many cars driving every day. A restored nature in which all animals and plants can exist. An end to factory farming and a plant-based diet for all people. No one in the world has to go hungry or have no access to water. Single-family homes will be abolished and only multi-family homes, more space for everyone and therefore more nature! Land sealing will be reversed worldwide! Killing stations for dogs and cats will be banned worldwide! Yulin and other dog meat festivals are over!!!! What a beautiful world this would be for all living beings!
