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!

Forests It's 2040. The forests of South America have expanded in size and what was destroyed 16 years ago has been restored. The lungs of our country are breathing again. Indigenous tribes, including a diversity of animals, persist and expand their families. Air and water quality is available to almost everyone, and drought is gradually disappearing. New technologies are helping people address basic environmental issues, but there is still room for improvement.

I would certainly be happy if people were nicer to each other, they would have the opportunity to not so much to download and the work would be shorter and also would not be generally more demanding and harder things will be done for us by robots and partly by artificial intelligence. Also the food would be more nutritious and hearty, thus ensuring lower starvation

A future that has it all. There are no more politicians. People have finally realized that they only want to cause unrest and exercise power. Let's manage our money like any good family man does. We've had almost 100 years of peace and haven't managed to build up any assets in that time. Instead, we have accumulated debts for many generations to come. For what? Committees, associations, institutes and many others. Every citizen had a deputy assigned to them. Great. Who is actually still working? Those were the conditions in 2040. Now we only have employees who execute existing laws. Is that enough?

The planet would recover through massive ecosystem restoration projects. Deforested areas would be reforested, the oceans would be cleaned of plastic waste and biodiversity would increase by protecting endangered species. Cities would be full of greenery - vertical gardens on buildings, parks on every corner and urban farms would be a way of life.
