Futuro Verde

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

I hope all the war in Europe will be over and the situation has calmed down again. I hope Europe's economy flourishes and trade across national borders just flows. I also hope that a lot has happened in the field of renewable energy with solar cells, wind turbines and hydrogen cars. I hope that hydrogen has become well intertwined in Europe

I want a world without wars and terrorism, but the reality is that there will be more and more of this. Digital literacy will be much more developed, as will artificial intelligence. Future generations will be more protective of their environment and nature, as it shows us our teeth over the years and will even more remind us by 2040 that we are destroying it too much. The poor will be poorer, the rich will be richer.

Well, as I imagine life in such a distant future, it must take another 15 years until 2040. I'll be you by the time I'm 70, as I imagine this life in 15 years. Well, I would like to build a large heating plant, of course ecological, which would use the energy of the sun and which would produce pr ad and heat for a small price. I would also like to see centers for the development of friendship and care, so that every person, regardless of age, can experience friendship. so that , children are taught in schools how to develop social competences, so that these important values, which were very much cared for by the kid, are returned, i.e. honesty, care, selflessness, empathy, so that people are good and friendly to each other. I also hope that Poland will fight for its position in Europe, and not, as we are now, a backwater, thanks to our politicians who have the interests of the country and the nation somewhere.

That there is peace in the world. It starts on the street that everyone treats everyone with respect. That there are no wars among the peoples. That we get climate change under control and not so much is destroyed by heat, drought and floods. That the economy is on the right track, that all people have good work and that they can afford everything and that prices do not rise to the bottomless.
