MY PRESENT, YOUR FUTURE

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Why can we live the way we do?
Why can we go to the supermarket and buy food?
Why can we go to the shopping center and buy clothes?
Why can we turn on the water and have clean water, turn on the light and have electricity in our homes?
Why can we know what is someone doing thousands of miles away?
Why? And at what cost?
Every action comes with a price, and every decision has consequences.
We go to school, high school, and college to study...But does it make sense?
We study for a future we won't have.
We work for a retirement that will not come.
We have dreams that will never become true.
Where is the matter in thinking about the future and stopping living the present? Do whatever you feel you must do. Stop thinking about an uncertain future. Because climate change is just around the corner. It's a storm that is coming: we see the clouds, we notice the wind and the sun is starting to hide. Its effects are real.
Is there still a chance of a future? Of a future in which we can go swimming in the sea and see fish and turtles and dolphins. A future in which cars are not all that we see. We see mountains, trees, animals, snow, and rain. We hear the birds singing and the waves breaking. There is a society in which everyone helps everyone, in which there is no place for racial, religious, or gender discrimination. A society in which social media does not have such a big role and people spend more time doing real things and not in front of a screen. Propitiating volunteering, organizing cultural activities, and raising awareness among the youth are some small steps for this future.
Let our voices be heard and our biggest dreams become true. Be the change you wanna be.

Utopia is important because it allows us to hope ... Let's imagine! it's spring and the small flowers, violets, pikelets, blueberries, worries..., decorate our gardens without pesticides, without fertilizer because the soil, well worked for years no longer needs all these artificial aids. And children, teenagers run into this garden. They are at peace, they are good because their parents have instilled in them the essential rules of life in society. And the school has trained them by teaching them, not, ready-made formulas that it is enough to know by heart, no, by giving them the opportunity to train in everyday life with the help of the oldest who share their knowledge. And on their plates, at meals, they eat vegetables grown near their homes by responsible farmers. No more ready-made dishes bought in the super markets, almost all of which have disappeared or, at the very least, have changed the way they sell... Utopia!!

Autonom fahren
I would love to be able to drive autonomously. This would be especially important for older people from the country, as there are often no shops and doctors there anymore. So you can participate in life even with physical or mental limitations. In addition, the traffic is unraveling, there are fewer traffic jams, the traffic is more fluid and there are fewer accidents.

I want a united Europe, not wars or wars. The gap between rich and poor should be very close. There would have to be enough living space, whether for rent or property. Politicians should not only look four years into the future and block everything beforehand. More attention should be paid to the environment, renewable energies, stable prices. Enough doctors and hospitals.

Self-sufficiency. national self-sufficiency in electricity production (preferably from renewable sources), crop cultivation and food production. Efficient and environmentally friendly management of arable land and water. Reducing livestock production and increasing plant production without pesticides and chemicals that damage groundwater and drinking water. Equal wage levels across sectors across Europe. The same salary for teachers in Germany as in the Czech Republic. The same pay for workers on the line in a car parts factory in France as in Slovakia. The same subsidies from the common European treasury for farmers who grow safe crops in Austria as in Poland. Stop subsidizing farmers for not sowing and harvesting crops, but just cutting grass in otherwise fertile fields. Self-sufficiency of households - the production of own electricity, the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, the breeding of animals for meat, eggs, milk, wool and the like. Exchange and sale of raw materials and products between neighbors on markets, between regions at larger exhibitions and between countries using import and export companies. To make us all healthier, happier and live in abundance and in harmony with nature.
