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.

A Peaceful United Europe
I would like to live in a peaceful Europe, where Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, the UK, Kosovo, Switzerland, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia and Montenegro are members of the EU. While Belarus has decided with Russia of stopping wagging war against NATO or the EU, and have become truly democratic nations, while also becoming fair economic partners with the EU.

I would like to be able to study any subject I want and have my degree recognised everywhere. In the field of health, to find a cure for diabetes cancer. To have artificial skin. To have legs. Artificial hands. A better health care system for everyone. Let technology advance even further. Work for all even from home. Fairer wages. Take action on climate. Also actions to predict and protect against natural disasters. Migrants to have a better future in their host countries. May there always be Peace. Stop bullying. Greater protection by the police authorities. Stop femicide. Public transport to be better both in frequency and in the stops that exist.

I would like peace, people to be better and more responsible. I don't want any more sickness. To find medicines for all suffering. Outer space to be explored and admired by all the inhabitants of the planet. Public transportation by solar-powered drones. It would be wonderful to have an advanced world where technology beautifies life

A Fragile Balance
In the year 2040, the world had transformed in ways both hopeful and uncertain. Cities now thrived as green, interconnected hubs, their skyline dotted with sleek, solar-powered vehicles that hovered above the streets. Public transport, once overcrowded and polluting, had been replaced by autonomous electric pods, moving people swiftly through airways and tunnels, reducing congestion and emissions. The once-imposing traffic jams were a thing of the past. Yet, as humanity reveled in its advancements, the Earth was also telling its story—a story of recovery and fragility. Nature, scarred by decades of climate chaos, had begun to heal, but not without difficulty. Vast forests, once endangered, were now flourishing thanks to restored ecosystems and rewilding projects. Cities had reclaimed their green spaces, integrating vertical gardens, green rooftops, and urban farms. These innovations, born out of necessity, had become a symbol of hope for the planet. But the scars of past negligence lingered. Weather patterns had become unpredictable, and natural disasters, while less frequent, still struck with unrelenting power. A warning bell echoed in the back of people's minds—how much time was left before the tipping point came? On the global level, nations had united in an unprecedented alliance, working toward a common goal: food security and environmental stability. Vertical farming, once a novel idea, had become the norm. Skyscrapers in every major city were now home to expansive farms that grew everything from grains to vegetables, using less water and land than traditional methods. The Earth’s soil had been treated with respect, and sustainable farming practices had revived once barren fields. It was a revolution in agriculture—one that seemed to promise a future free from hunger. Yet, even as the world seemed to bloom, there were whispers of concern. Some wondered whether the changes were enough. Could technology truly fix everything? Could humans repair the damage of centuries in just a few short decades? It was unclear, but what was certain was that the path forward was one of careful balance—an ongoing dance between progress and preservation. The future, both hopeful and wary, was a world of resilience, powered by innovation and a deep connection to nature. But the greatest question remained: Would humanity sustain the fragile balance they had fought so hard to build? Only time would tell.
