The future we would like is one that addresses the main problems of environmental degradation, hunger and excessive consumerism. I would first of all like to raise awareness of environmental pollution, not only by banning plastic straws, but also by introducing measures such as mandatory recycling, paying fines for littering the streets, reducing CO2 production, using renewable resources, and implementing and improving the benefits of urban access. If we were to reduce these limits and protect them, I believe that the people's impact on nature would be greatly reduced and that nature would begin to regenerate itself.

In the year 2050, Mia woke up in a world she could hardly have imagined 25 years earlier. Her house, a self-sustaining ecosystem made from recycled materials, greeted her with a gentle voice: "Good morning, Mia. The air quality is optimal and your breakfast is ready." The world had undergone enormous changes since the 2030s. Climate change, once a global threat, had been curbed by radical measures. Cities were now green oases, with vertical forests covering the skyscrapers. Energy was generated almost exclusively from renewable sources and fossil fuels were a thing of the past. Mia walked the streets where drones quietly delivered parcels while autonomous vehicles passed silently by. Thanks to groundbreaking medical advances, life expectancy had soared and diseases such as cancer were almost eradicated through preventative gene therapies. The world was not perfect, but people had learned to share their resources and live more sustainably. Hope and progress were the new constants of humanity.

I see my future in my native France, where we would regain our identity and culture, live in peace and security, rediscover our traditions and live happily. No more war in the world. We'd be able to travel freely to any country in the world, with no limits and in complete safety.

I would like if life in 2040 didn’t have war. I would like if people could live in peace with their neighbours instead of killing eachother just because. But life in 2040 would still not be the same. We may be able to stop the current warming in our atmosphere but we will not be able to reverse the damage. I would like to believe that we at least tried to keep earth liveable for our future generations, and not leave them to deal problems caused by our recklessness.
