I hope that there will be less bureaucracy in carrying out practices and streamlining all procedures relating to requests for documents, aid, etc., I hope that there will be less taxes and more work for young people and that there will be the sharing of the common good that is missing in our institutions today.

1 January 2040 9am. I'm sitting on the terrace, it's snowing... A lot of snow. We have those real winters again. We took care of our land in time. Since we cut air traffic, our land has recovered. And since the wars stopped, the climate has improved. I am thinking about what I need to pack in my suitcase, I am going to the spa. Since we have a 3 to 1 ratio we are living very well. A director can have 3 times a worker's salary. And so my salary is decent too. I can also afford a few days of relaxation in a spa, a health resort. The children have their own flat. They built a lot of flats a few years ago. 60 square metres. Before that, they built luhsuzna huge flats, it was no use. 4 flats could be made out of one. Well, now that's sorted too. And if you need a doctor you get one immediately, there are no queues. I work 4 days a week and so I have time to tend to my garden. We are all trying to be self sufficient. We have factories again and people like to go to work since they have fair pay. And my town is Slovenian again. Now that work is paid fairly we have enough people of our people working. Foreigners have returned to their countries. Dear diary that is enough for today. Let us write to each other again tomorrow. I am hurrying to the spa.

We are in the year 2040 and medical research has progressed so far that a cure for cancer has been found. If cancer cells have already formed in the body, the new drug inhibits the growth of the cells. If nothing has formed yet, an immunization cure can be started with new drugs. Vaccination is an option for children.

In the year 2050, we wake up in a world unlike anything I have ever known. The sky is clear, the air is cleaner, and cities that were once characterized by crowded streets and dirty exhaust fumes have been transformed into green oases. The architecture is new and futuristic, but in harmony with nature. The day starts early, no need to use my smartphone as all the information is displayed through the lens of my eye. I enjoy a breakfast of food that is not only sustainable, but also personalized. No more artificial sugar or superfluous calories, instead a mix of plant-based proteins and nutrients that promote my well-being. The climate is more stable thanks to decades of hard work and innovative renewable energy technologies. Countries are no longer working against each other, but with each other to find solutions for the planet. The goal of reducing CO2 emissions and healing the planet has not only moved politics and business, but also people's hearts. The streets are quiet, electric vehicles glide silently by. Public transportation is not only efficient, but also fully connected, so that I can travel from one city to the next in an autonomous train.
