Hey! 2040 is here... I had no idea time would pass so quickly. Kids are grown up now, life has different shapes and stages, everything is digitalized. It's gone quiet in our lives and everything seems easier now. The children have their own lives; we're seeing our own age. We go on vacations more now, it's easier than 20 years ago because the cars go both on the ground and in the air. They are much better equipped and safer and accidents are fewer and fewer.

Now in 2040, non-renewable energy is not used. All energy used is renewable and is effectively managed. Recycling is part of everyone's day-to-day life, as is caring for nature. Contrary to what was previously seen, there is no garbage on the beaches, in the sea and in the woods.

I want to have a peaceful and bright future. I imagine social rules and relationships that do not support wars and terrorism. I expect less poor people and better living conditions for people in Africa and South America. No traffic jams. No deceases. No child abuse!

2040, how time passes and everything that has changed. The climate has started to get a lot worse over the years, there have been many plans and few actions about it. More recycling, avoiding water pollution, pollution from factories, more planting of trees and flowers, more green areas.... And in the end, what has really changed?
