It's March 2040. As I'm not working today, I'm going to take the opportunity to tend to my vegetable garden. As it hasn't rained for two days, I'm going to take the opportunity to water it with the water stored in the rainwater collector. This collector is distributed free of charge to people who have backyards so that they can use rainwater to water small areas. I check the energy production of the community solar panels that I have installed. The use of panels in energy communities is now common and allows this resource to be shared in small communities (villages or neighbourhoods), greatly optimizing energy consumption and considerably reducing bills. After tending the garden, I go shopping in my electric car. Unlike the first electric vehicles, considerable autonomy is now possible, even on long journeys, with the inclusion of solar panels on the vehicle itself.
Contrary to what you might think, there are still many employees in supermarkets, as technology has come to help people, not replace them.
Before returning home, I take the opportunity to pick up my grandchildren from the kindergarten, where they spent the day playing and enjoying nature.
I take the opportunity to do my own and the children's laundry. As the detergents used are organic and environmentally friendly, the water from the washing is also recovered and can be used, for example, to wash the floors.
As my son and daughter-in-law come to pick up the children, I take the opportunity to prepare dinner for everyone. We all work, but as I'm older, I now have reduced working hours that allow me to help with my grandchildren's education. My son and daughter-in-law can also request reduced working hours if they need to look after me when I'm not working or am ill.
When a caregiver is needed, we can also use community resources. Fewer and fewer people are institutionalized, and there is a "pool" of caregivers who are available for home care, collaborating with families.
The future can be uncomplicated when technology and legislation are used for the benefit of people and communities.

Den gröna framtiden

I would like to see a future where there has been a major change for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydropower have replaced fossil energy sources. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and, for example, basic raw materials such as potatoes and the like. Public transport has switched entirely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

Naturen er reddet

You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.

Podróże w czasie

In 2040, the world looked very different than it did twenty years ago. Poland has become a peaceful, safe and united country around common values. The streets were clean, the cities well organized, and people lived in harmony, valuing their traditions and culture. There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the towns, with children playing in the backyards without fear, the elderly walking in the parks, and the neighbours knowing each other and helping each other in their daily lives. Local communities thrived and small family businesses thrived, supported by modern technologies and a conscious approach to the economy. There were no problems with crime or riots. The authorities have made sure that the country develops in a sustainable and safe way. Young people had good prospects – they could educate themselves at a high level, develop their passions and be sure that they would find a decent job. Thanks to a wise economic policy, Poland became self-sufficient – agriculture flourished, domestic companies produced modern technologies, and people enjoyed stability and prosperity. Society was united, proud of its history and ready to build the future in accordance with its own values. In the evening, sitting on the terrace of his house, John looked at the quiet streets and felt gratitude. He knew that his children were growing up in a world where they could feel safe, respect their roots and build a better future for generations to come.

Au réveil, les machines préparent le petit déjeuner que j'ai l'habitude de prendre (café, pain grillé et un fruit). Mes vêtements sont prêts et se mettent automatiquement sur moi. Je prends des transports en commun qui vont vite, vole et permettent d'arriver rapidement sur son lieu de travail. Ce n'est pas très durable mais c'est pratique. Le vélo est devenu une activité en perte de vitesse car c'est moins rapide. La société va toujours plus vite. Tout est informatisé et ne permet pas d'avoir trop d'interaction sociale et c'est un bat qui blesse. Pour la vie de famille, cela reste tous ensemble dans la même maison mais cela ne permet pas vraiment de se croire en famille car chacun est plus isolé devant un appareil électrique qui occupe son temps libre
