Above all, there is peace everywhere. Even the most foolish countries have paid such a high price for their wars that they have finally understood.

Travel is easy. Finally, people have woken up to the fact that you don't need tons of metal around you to move from one place to another.

Finally, people have begun to understand the value of time. Robots do the simple tasks and humans do the creative work, although AI checks that the scenarios work. Factories have stopped producing disposable products and spoiling food altogether.

There has been an increasing shift from health care to health maintenance. Overall, people are happier when disease and work stress are no longer a problem.

What still causes concern is the pollution of past decades that has not yet disappeared. Some have been solved, though, such as the problems of plastics and glyphosate. Natural disasters are still present.

Even children have learned to play again, as more interesting ways of teaching have been found. The aspiration to be a teenager and a small adult has been replaced by a shift in values that emphasise individual dress, healthy appearance, joy, fun and happiness.

For the future, I hope that people will have much more respect for nature and animals, that a beautiful coexistence is possible without the slaughter and killing of animals. I imagine a beautiful flower meadow surrounded by trees and in the middle many many animals that can live peacefully and without fear. And above all, people are happy with this and realize that meat consumption is not necessary. Animals should no longer have to suffer because of money and certain medicines. Not even in poor countries.

Un mondo migliore, forse ma non credo
I would like to be in a world that has rediscovered solidarity, civil coexistence, where a great brother who exploits the world economically does not reign and governs, inventing scourges, pestilences, wars and conflicts, forcing humanity to suffer prohibitions, impositions, restrictions, controls and humiliations. But unfortunately this will not be possible, as long as we survive the climate catastrophe.

We have come a long way since 2025. Now that there are over 40 countries in the EU and it is over 10 years since the UK rejoined, it is hard to believe that there have been no major wars in 20 years. Reformation of the Commission has led to it being much more representative of the smaller countries and the overall economy is more stable. There are still some climate change issues to deal with but things are definitely stabilising over the last 10 years.

In the year 2040 nobody drives combustion cars anymore. Public transport has improved a lot in recent years, now all vehicles are electric and eco-sustainable, there are many connections between cities and countries and a great time availability. Nobody has a private car because it is not practical, when in 5 minutes you have available a transport that takes you to your destination quickly, efficiently and for free! Renewable energies have become the standard. Thanks to this and other changes, climate change has been slowed down. Companies have substantially reduced their emissions of harmful gases, including CO2, and have stopped using non-renewable packaging in their products. Thousands of species have been saved worldwide, especially marine species, and the seas have been repopulated. In the year 2040, society's main concern is not its future, but what it is going to do on the weekend with all its free time, since it now only works from Monday to Thursday. What I have described is not a possible future right now, but it could be if politicians take the right measures, it just needs the will to change. The future of Europe is the future of all of us, it is the future of the planet.
