Le temps qui passe

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

The morning sun filtered through the dense foliage of the trees lining my Parisian apartment. Once a gray, noisy avenue, my street was now a verdant oasis, where birdsong replaced the roar of cars. The transformation of Europe had been radical.

In 2025, we were on the brink of a climatic precipice. But a global awakening had taken place. Europe had embarked on an ambitious reforestation and sustainable development project. Cities were redesigned, and nature reclaimed its rights. Gasoline-powered cars disappeared, replaced by electric vehicles and efficient public transport.

My day began with a bike ride along the old tracks, now transformed into winding cycle paths through parks and forests. Lunch consisted of fresh, local produce grown on rooftops and in community gardens dotted around the city. The afternoon was devoted to work, but even the offices were green and bright, with open coworking spaces and soothing views of the surrounding nature.

Life in 2050 was slower, more conscious. We had swapped the frantic race for a pace more respectful of our environment and well-being. Europe had become a model of sustainable development, a society where technology and nature coexisted in harmony. And every day, I was delighted to have contributed, in my own small way, to this transformation.

wish mail it is important to me to live in peace and to secure the earth for all descendants for a peaceful and livable environment.in addition, the preservation of animal species to promote real selection.furthermore, the school must be designed in such a way that everyone can benefit from it.everyone needs the most important basics and not things that nobody needs.the same applies to the health system, where a reform is absolutely necessary so that everyone can find a family doctor and does not fall out.taxes should be used sensibly and those who squander taxes should also pay for them.the idea that money is spent on pointless things and nobody is responsible is completely different for the normal employee.mistakes can happen,but you should also stand by them and not squander other people's money without punishment.it is also very important that all those who have a leading position are also trained for it.at the moment ministers are being put from one position to another in politics who actually have no idea about it.people should live well and happily.the gap between rich and poor must change and not become even wider.the pension should also be enough for pensioners to live on.everyone should pay taxes without restriction up to a certain amount.everyone should be treated equally and that welds the people together because it conveys real justice.

Ma vision de 2040
At the dawn of 2040, so much has changed! Selective sorting has taken root, there's no more food wastage thanks to the cost circuit, we consume more local produce, and producers are able to make a living from their activities. We don't judge different people, we try to understand them, we're more tolerant and benevolent towards others, even if there are still a few recalcitrants.

Utopie
Europe will finally be a united state like the USA, with the same rules, the same wages, the same prices, true uniformity. The army will also be European, and will defend any European country under attack. Movement between countries will be fluid, but much stricter for non-European countries. There will be a truly European economy, with each country retaining its strengths, but without the competition and disparity of today. There will be a real sharing of technological and scientific knowledge. We'll be much more autonomous and therefore stronger. Together, we'll develop an ecological policy that's also more people-oriented.

Moje představa
I wish respect among the people would return. People should realise that violence, arrogance, rudeness have never done any good. It's not the colour of one's skin that matters, it's what one can do. National cooperation is also important so that the people do not have to worry that someone else wants to return to the days when everything was decided by a party and a government or by a single person.
