Mobile Europe (Mobilna Evropa)

This is 18 years old and is not in fact as far as possible. One is what I want, but one is how I think it will be. This could be the case, i.e. a utopic performance: urban mobility, or sustainable urban mobility, is currently an area of great interest to me. It would be important to reduce the ownership of passenger cars in absolute terms, or to seek other improvements in the area of public transport, somehow undermining this symbolic value of cars. In other words, the fact that you have a car is no longer a status symbol, but only a functional thing, if any. However, it would be possible to abandon this functional aspect because it would have a well-organised and integrated public transport that is accessible to all. Even for the socially weaker; appropriate and accessible to all individuals, regardless of any discriminatory or marginalised group, such as persons with disabilities, other people with disabilities, children, the elderly, employees... public transport would serve all their needs, meaning that it should be fast and efficient, accurate, reliable, clean, comfortable and pleasant. You are happy to go to the bus to drive. Another issue is the integration into a wider system and at local level, and then in a certain area of Europe, but, at the same time, accessibility and rural environments and urban areas and, consequently, some relief and decentralisation of urban environments and, therefore, some general utopic satisfaction with the mode of movement. In addition to this more environmentally friendly public transport, this would mean: or some buses, trains, car-sharing shapes, in addition to walking and bikes of course, in order to have a good modality and a culture of walking and cycling in order to get more involved in our lives. That is, these means of transport would be more sustainable, of course as regards materials and all exhausts. That is to say, that is now a dissenting factor in the use of buses for a long period of time, including trains which have some exhausts and which operate by means of internal combustion, but are provided in repair and are used at all times, or the production of new, electrical ones. At the same time, there is a great deal of embedded carbon in these electrical parts because they are one of the new parts making up this massif, which produces very high carbon plus recycling of these parts at a very early stage and, in essence, we are not yet able to recycle them as efficiently as possible. In such a way that the utopic view would be to place the emphasis on the wheel, walking and then these shapes, which would be electrical for the time being, because it is also easier to generate electricity in more environmentally friendly ways. And trains and buses, salvages and those cars that would stay. Practically all means of transport that would still be accessible to all as well as to certain service providers. So I want it and I hope it will be. This is, in essence, an unrealistic idea because development is too slow, but rather in terms of development, not so much technological, but rather concerns about the development of the welfare state and the economy, because this still works to a great extent in such a way that things are profitable, including transport, is still seen as a way of earning, which should not be. Whereas public transport and public health, as well as education, must be at the service of and for people, as these are things that need to be available to the wider community. But how is it possible now? In particular, the focus is on education, educating younger people (in primary schools already, with some hours of teaching, dealing with understanding the care of a human being, reciprocity and this transition or understanding of a sustainable way of life). This is mainly because they are children who will grow up in the world and who will become adult people, and they are the ones who have to bear these changes and then integrate them everywhere throughout their lives. The school is not only an educational establishment, but also education. Because children bring some patterns from home, this is too little. When children learn something at home, they do so at home, but when they learn something at school, they bring home and can extend to their parents, grandchildren and midwives, and these networks can spread quickly and this is what is essential for any change and for a good Europe.

Here we are in 2040 I am now 83 years young and glad to be here the changes I have seen since times gone by are unleavable and let me explain some of them to you now. The government we now have work for the people and not themselves the wages now meet the cost of living needs, the fuel of petrol and diesel are now like gold dust to buy but the cars that run on these fuels now are nearly extinct and cost more than our EVs to buy now. Cleaner environment for us all to live in. The housing market is better now more houses are being built and at affordable costs not much poverty about at these times and we should thank god for that. Now some of the downfalls of this era are computers they control everything now we shop online now no more going to the supermarket the times of our local pubs are gone we are controlled by robots and AI this for me is hard to take I miss some of the old times open fires snow fall good summers and lots more are our times changing for better our worse YOU TELL ME.

I hope all the war in Europe will be over and the situation has calmed down again. I hope Europe's economy flourishes and trade across national borders just flows. I also hope that a lot has happened in the field of renewable energy with solar cells, wind turbines and hydrogen cars. I hope that hydrogen has become well intertwined in Europe

I want a world without wars and terrorism, but the reality is that there will be more and more of this. Digital literacy will be much more developed, as will artificial intelligence. Future generations will be more protective of their environment and nature, as it shows us our teeth over the years and will even more remind us by 2040 that we are destroying it too much. The poor will be poorer, the rich will be richer.

Well, as I imagine life in such a distant future, it must take another 15 years until 2040. I'll be you by the time I'm 70, as I imagine this life in 15 years. Well, I would like to build a large heating plant, of course ecological, which would use the energy of the sun and which would produce pr ad and heat for a small price. I would also like to see centers for the development of friendship and care, so that every person, regardless of age, can experience friendship. so that , children are taught in schools how to develop social competences, so that these important values, which were very much cared for by the kid, are returned, i.e. honesty, care, selflessness, empathy, so that people are good and friendly to each other. I also hope that Poland will fight for its position in Europe, and not, as we are now, a backwater, thanks to our politicians who have the interests of the country and the nation somewhere.
