A better future in 2040 ... in Denmark ... nature has come back, biodiversity is flourishing and everyone takes care of and is aware of the beautiful nature, the windbreaks that were once cut down between the fields with their crops have grown large and form the basis for many animals and insects. The crops are organic and many Danes - who are now more educated - appreciate our nature. Screens have been replaced by people to people contact, dating is like the old days when you went out and looked and spotted potential partners... we are happier, we have more fun, more children are being born and the immigrants have all become Danish and understand the Danish culture. We have also become better at interacting with each other ... ghosting is forgotten ... we do things properly take care of each other... of all ages... we take care of our cities their architecture and green oases not so much new is built as transformed ... young people are hopeful no dissatisfaction and depression ... and if there is they / we get immediate help ... life should be lived well you should have a good time ... singles young couples elderly old middle aged ....

In 15 years time, the planet Pluto would still be in my star sign, Aquarius, and that means the Age of Aquarius. From all this cosmic energies, I envision that by 2040, a more flexible work places are in place. No more fixed hours, commuting each day, poor office structures, unergonomic chairs, fake colleagues, burned out, anxiety, over tiredness - all that is part of the past. By 2040, the employment field would be transformed with work options any as deemed fit by the employee preference (remote, hybrid, flexi time, flexi week, shift hours), working hours as fitting to the employee family and lifestyle. This will lead to 24/7 customer service, better family management, less burned out leading to low obesity rates, more quality of life, employment rates increase due to variety of employement and work/life opportunities, bigger families member, more children are born since there will be no more fixed hours, better quality of air since less people will be commuting and this part also helps with better traffic flow all day long. Remote / digital working should be the future where any one can work in the country they desire, the schedule they need for their health, pets and family, the hours needed and place the employee desire. Every employee whose job permits to do so should be allowed this type of freedom. Not a selected group of people. Thank you for this opportunity to voice my thoughts. Love you EU!

The future! I am already 72 years old and in 40 years I will no longer be on this plane but I wish good things for the future. That all those powerful people who pretend to rule the world have been controlled, that all those people with bad and selfish intentions have been annihilated and in turn, the leaders of the countries are people who really take care of the people, of their territories, sensible people who look out for the good of others. Today this seems really utopian, unfortunately. Likewise, it would be wonderful if it would have been possible to stop this uncontrolled consumption and the manufacture and pollution by plastic. The bad thing is that we have become accustomed to it and we would no longer have containers to store things and other uses. But we will have to return to objects and materials of the past. We have to control agriculture and stop jumping through the hoops of all those greedy companies that unscrupulously poison us. And so many and so many things that have been imposed on us that are not very humane or good for humanity. We have to educate our children differently, they are the future. Our reality does not look very good but I still have hope but it will take a great effort.

I would like the future to be more green and healthier in the environmental context. I would love to see less nature disasters. I would love to see climate change to a better side. No more increasing temperature of earth, Controlled CO2 emission, stricter conditions for using fossil fuels for a healthier environment. More sustainable energy should be available in 2040, being as a major source of energy. Sustainable agriculture should be a priority, promoting reforestation, adopting more technologies, researching the best ways to continue agriculture and not affect nature. People are being taught about importance of sustainable lifestyle and we should promote less consumerism. Using more public transportation, more electric vehicles, building infrastructure for those things to be more suitable to our community, such as cycling paths or walking paths. Also, investing in science for environmental issues is required. Hopefully, the people will learn from their own experience that change needs to happen. Otherwise, our future and our children’s future may not be so bright.
