I live happily on the shore. At the end of winter, I can put my small sailboat back in the water to go back fishing and enhance our food. All winter we ate what we sown and harvested. We live comfortably in a self-contained house (roof panel, water recovery). The entire global power grid has been shut down since the various wars. Everyone must manage alone or in community. The more no industry, the more nothing works; everything has to be done again, we find ourselves at the same level as our grandparents in their time. The world has been destroyed by wars, artificial intelligence. The positive aspect is the return of nature and nature, the work of its hands, safety and community life.

Mais empatia para com as pessoas.
I would like us in 2040 to have a better awareness of preserving, caring for, be it the environment or people. Where we have more empathy with the elderly. Reducing the number of parents left or abandoned in nursing homes. Let people be more honest with their words, stop wanting to deceive those who know less or who have less. Take care of nature as you would like to be taken care of, for we need it very much. Use less pollutants.

Fresh water
We are now in 2040. We are restoring the world's economy after World War 3. Famine is on the rampage. Food and water security are horrible. New political alliances are forming. New topic that is beinf discussed a lot is access to water. Many fresh water sources have been privatized and most people do not have resources to afford it. It would be my hope that people organize, political activists take over the fight for access to water for everyone. Companies like Nestle have to take responsibility for denying access to fresh water supplies to people in the past century.

Μια Ημέρα στην Ευρώπη του 2050
It was a sunny morning in May 2050. As Lina woke up, her smart home system gently activated the music she had chosen the night before. From its window, the view of the city was filled with lush vertical gardens, while autonomous vehicles were silently driving on the streets, powered exclusively by renewable energy sources. Lina worked as a sustainable city designer, a job that emerged from the critical changes that took place between 2025 and 2050. Faced with the climate crisis, Europe had invested massively in green energy and sustainable technology. Each city was now energy autonomous, thanks to the "solar forests" and floating windmills that harnessed the energy of the wind and the sea. Linas Day started with a trip to Paris – a journey that took just 30 minutes thanks to the new generation of ultrasonic trains. At her meeting, they discussed the creation of "smart neighborhoods" where citizens could live, work and have fun without having to travel long distances. In the evening, Lina returned home. As she sat in her garden, she thought about how far humanity had come. The decisions of the past had built a world where people and nature coexisted harmoniously. He was grateful to live in this new Europe – a continent that was at the forefront of protecting the planet and caring for people. It was a sunny morning in May 2050.

Lepo zivljenje za vsakogar
In 2040, the awareness of the right to well-being for all living beings in Europe is at a much higher level. There is also a strong emphasis on mental and physical health and stress reduction, as well as on healthy work-life balance. Deloholism is no longer in fashion and we increasingly rely on technological capabilities to perform demanding tasks. Work smarter not harder. There is virtually no tolerance for mobbing in the workplace, nor for violence or rough treatment of anyone, including animals. Dogs are no longer in chains.
