Life in climate change A (Elämää ilmastonmuutoksessa A)

In the morning, in the morning, on the penetrating plywood, I am delighted to my small room. My home is not very large, but it is practical. It is a new house built as environmentally friendly and sustainable as this information has been able to do. As a breakfast, I eat rye bread and spread on it. Some of the supplies, such as herbs and shoots, have been able to grow themselves, although most of the time is dark in Finland. Fortunately, the lamps are able to simulate the light of the sun. Even at a younger age, I had a vegetarian focus, but I have now completely moved to a completely plant-based diet, like most other people. Electricity and heating in house companies come from renewable energy sources and recycling is a very important part of our daily life in our house company and throughout Helsinki.
When I go to work, Helsinki’s familiarity with cereals has already started and many people tweet on the streets. Most of the people travelling next to the noise source rather than traffic – all means of transport have become electrified and therefore do not emit much noise. I don’t even own the car, as the Helsinki-resident has no use. Ubiquitous through public transport or electric scooters, bicycles and other electrical equipment. I can easily get to work by tram. They have changed considerably from trams that I remember of my childhood – for example, tickets no longer pay anything. On the way, I look out out of the window to green parks. The green infrastructure has been increased much since my childhood and I think it makes the city more comfortable. The houses have green roofs, streets bordering trees. When I pick up from a tram, I can walking to my place of work via the park. There are a number of these in Helsinki to add ecological corridors for organisms living with us.
After the working day, I usually visit a walking walking or a natural park close to my home. I will then return home and prepare my own food. I will try to use the widest possible range of food in our food establishment. For example, I use a lot of beans and lentils, legumes, mushrooms, nuts and cereal products in food. From my smart watch, I can check with a single overview whether some minerals or vitamins need to be added to food. I see other important health data and connect with my home electronic devices. Most of my home furniture is electronic and can also be guided by speech, which I think is very convenient. This was sometimes very risky from the point of view of data protection, but fortunately it has now been resolved.
After a long day, I can see my friends. Together, we eat an excellent lettuce, exchange of views and discuss how much the world has changed. In the evening, after having got home to my small sofa, I will look for a period of one of my nil series.

2040, the years of madness are behind us and I'm delighted. The electoral electroshock I'd been dreaming of has finally arrived and swept away all this madness. Immigration is at an all-time low and we can finally imagine "integrating" the populations we have. Wokism is a thing of the past, and we finally know whether we're male or female. Our withdrawal from Europe, which was predicted to be a disaster, is gradually enabling us to rediscover our borders and our values, and a sense of family seems to have returned to the center of our preoccupations. It's not easy, but we're on the right track. Our children can go out again without us having to worry about their physical integrity.

Europa Idealna
In 2040, Europe should be a place of equality, social justice and sustainability. I would like Europe to become a leader in the fight against climate change, betting on a green transition and renewable energy. Over the next 15 years, we should transition to an economic system based on the principles of social justice, sustainability and environmental responsibility. This would mean widespread availability of cheap, clean energy, as well as massive investment in public transportation that would connect cities while reducing carbon emissions. European society should be based on inclusiveness and solidarity. I would like to see that in 2040 everyone has equal access to education, health care and basic social services, regardless of their economic status. In my vision, Europe is a space where marginalized groups, such as people with disabilities, ethnic minorities or immigrants, have full rights to participate in social and professional life. European Union member states should support the development of local communities, providing them with financial and political support in their quest for self-reliance. In 2040, Europe should also be a responsible global player, promoting human rights and social justice on the international stage. The future of the Union should be based on a more democratic and transparent approach, in which citizen participation is a key element of the decision-making process. I would like Europe to be a symbol of openness and diversity, and a place where everyone has a chance to live in dignity, regardless of origin, religion or sexual orientation.

Zdraví je budoucnost
Let's imagine 2040 and a future that I would like... I would choose the field of healthcare and longevity. I would imagine a world where medicine has made huge strides with advanced genetics and regenerative medicine. People would live to a ripe old age in great shape because we would be able to repair damaged tissues, regenerate organs, and prevent serious diseases before they even start. Cancer would no longer be fatal, but a temporary problem that could be easily cured. Moreover, prevention would be so advanced that people would not have to spend years in poor health. Everyone would have access to personalised medicine - medication, nutrition and exercise would be tailored to their genetic profile and lifestyle.

The future in 2040: Sustainable cities full of green spaces Imagine 2040. I am standing on the roof of a high-rise building in the city centre, and around me is a panorama that people could hardly imagine twenty years ago. The city is full of greenery - rooftops covered in grass and flowers, climbing plants covering the facades of buildings, and tree-lined cycle paths and pedestrian zones winding between buildings. The air is clear, the silence broken only by the singing of birds and the gentle hum of electric cars. This is the future I would like to see - cities that live in harmony with nature. One of the biggest challenges facing humanity at the beginning of the 21st century was climate change, air pollution and the associated deterioration in the quality of life in cities. At the time, people often overlooked the importance of nature in our daily lives. But in 2040, we have finally learned to use technology to protect the environment instead of destroying it. Cities are now self-sufficient. Community gardens grow on the rooftops where residents grow their own vegetables and fruits. Rainwater is caught in special tanks and used for irrigation. Energy comes mostly from renewable sources - solar panels and wind turbines are a common part of the urban landscape. Thanks to smart grids, electricity is efficiently distributed where it is needed. Transport has undergone a radical change. Streets are no longer clogged with noise and smog from cars with internal combustion engines. Instead, silent electric cars drive through the city and public transport is completely emission-free. People are choosing to cycle, ride electric scooters or walk more often because cities are safer and more pedestrian-friendly. Many car parks have been converted into parks, squares or community spaces. But most importantly, the way people think has changed. Sustainability has become a normal part of life. Children are taught from an early age about the importance of nature, about sorting waste and about how to protect the planet. Companies and governments are working together on projects that promote ecology and improve the quality of life for all. This is the future I envision - a world where modern technology serves people and nature, where cities are not concrete jungles but places full of life, green and clean air. A future where people have learned to live in harmony with the planet because they understand that our future depends on the health of the Earth.
