Hacia un futuro mejor

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

On June 15, 2040, Laura walked the streets of Madrid, which were now almost unrecognizable. The pollution had disappeared thanks to the green roofs and renewable energy systems that covered each building. There were no gasoline cars, only silent electric vehicles and flying bicycles that people used to move quickly.

From her neural implant, Laura accessed the public transport system without the need for cards or phones. He was heading to work at a company that developed artificial intelligence for education, helping children across Europe learn in their native language with interactive holograms.

He recalled how, in 2025, the climate crisis seemed unstoppable and people feared for the future. However, over the past 25 years, Europe had achieved radical changes in sustainability and technology. Now, cities were greener, inequality had declined, and life was more balanced.

Laura smiled. The future I had dreamed of as a child had come true.

Humanity would pay attention to the environment and wildlife. Political decisions would be made with the desire to have the least impact on nature. There would be no more terrorist acts and our children could feel safe. Life would be peaceful.

After graduation I decided to stay here at my home, I remember very well when my parents were forced to choose between a better quality of life, and the most dear affections such as family and roots. Today fortunately it is no longer so, I can safely decide to carry out my profession in any European state and receive the same salary, but above all to be sure that the quality of my life will be the same everywhere. My technical knowledge is equally recognized, and the chances of making a career (while still wanting to start a family) are the same, I just have to decide if I want to stay here or start a new adventure. When I talk about it with mine, I see their eyes become shiny, because they know that anyway I will be happy and I will not have remorse not having to accept compromises. Today I witness many acquaintances who (even if in the last years of work) return to where they were born, will retire and will be serene. It's great to be able to decide: If you're a traveler and you don't have to become one.

In 2040, Europe was developed sustainably, using only environmentally friendly energy sources for electricity production, which are, of course, renewable. Most houses are equipped with a smart management system that optimises the use of energy as much as possible. The air is clean, we have stopped global warming, man is brother to man racism and we have eradicated discrimination

I wish that by then we had managed to save , our planet. Clean, efficient energy is available indefinitely, but there are better alternatives than huge wind turbines that eat the ground. Housing is affordable for everyone and a fundamental right. Everyone has to do their part. There are no more social smears. Public transport, of any kind, is free of charge.
