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.

Klimaneutrale Bildungsfreundliche Zukunft
I imagine that mobility will become much more individualized - there will be cars/small aircraft that drive autonomously and can be called up at any time from wherever you want to go. Of course, the vehicles are climate-neutral and connected in such a way that there are no traffic jams or delays. Our education starts from an early age (even in kindergarten), there are appropriately small groups/classes. The teachers are well trained and can respond well to the children. So that they learn to enjoy education and feel self-efficacious and open up the world on their own. In school there is no more learning to forget but more knowledge to apply and how to learn. Because developments are very rapid. There won't be one profession that you learn for life. There will be no more truck colonies with enormous consumption, the electricity will come from renewable energies, at every house, garage, crash barrier, etc. Electricity can also be easily stored induvidually. Natural disasters are becoming fewer again, the weather is stabilizing.

Wird ein Traum Wahrheit?
I am now 86 years old and still feel really well. The last few years have not been easy, with the war in Ukraine, the fighting in the Middle East and political unrest in all countries leading people in a right-wing direction. Plus politicians who only had their own power in mind. It was difficult, but the common sense of the majority of people has led to a stabilization and consolidation of the political situation. It is important that the people have not drifted further apart and that common ground has once again come to the fore. We can actually be proud of Germany and its poets and thinkers again without feeling ashamed. The economy has become stable and the price hikes have come to an end. Children are getting an education that prepares them for life and makes them strong and intelligent. No one has to worry about falling ill and not being able to pay for necessary medical treatment. And why? - At last, everyone pays into the pension, health and long-term care insurance funds. Politicians are also paid according to the performance principle and are not rewarded with adequate pensions for poor performance or mistakes. It was a tough fight, but it was worth it. Oh yes, and pensioners are no longer a burden, but their lifetime achievements are recognized.

Politik für Menschen und den Planeten
The highest priorities are the environment and peace. Peace on all continents. The global community should also take care of the developing countries. developing countries. Even if there are no coveted raw materials to be exploited there. In order to get the global flow of refugees under control, the reasons for this should be tackled causally. If the economy in poorer countries is promoted and expanded, people will have little reason to leave their country. When it comes to environmental protection and resource consumption, the whole world should pull together. It is not enough for Germany to point the finger and try to be the model pupil while ruining its own economy and the Americans, Chinese, Indians and Russians don't even know what environmental protection and resource conservation means.

In 2040, I imagine a world without traffic jams cars driving on the road will be displaced by hovering cars. Everything will be made more robotic. Plastic will be displaced by greener, biodegradable materials, making people healthier, animals less likely to die and the environment cleaner.
