Rewitalizacja środowiska

The year 2040 is a period that could be a moment of huge breakthroughs for humanity, especially when it comes to ecology and climate change. One of the most important challenges I would like to see resolved by then is the crisis of environmental degradation and deforestation.

I imagine that in 2040 we managed to significantly stop the processes of environmental destruction. Cities are dominated by greenery and natural areas, where sustainable development is not just a slogan, but a daily practice. The use of green technologies such as solar panels, hydrogen cells and widely used recycling and composting make cities virtually CO2-neutral.

Modern, intelligent traffic management systems, powered by renewable energy, make public and personal transport much more efficient, and electric, autonomous and low-emission cars become the norm. The common public space is designed to integrate nature and give people the opportunity to commune with it on a daily basis, and green areas are integrated into city centers, turning them into more friendly and healthy places.

Forests that have been destroyed in previous decades are being systematically restored thanks to advanced biotechnology and global afforestation efforts. Sustainable forest management supports ecosystem restoration, and AI-based technologies monitor and analyse the state of the environment, enabling rapid responses to threats and minimising damage.

We also have a new model of permaculture-based agriculture, where artificial fertilizers and pesticides have been replaced by natural cultivation methods, and food production is local, organic and adapted to the needs of the community, with minimal impact on the environment.

In this better future, every social and political decision takes into account the impact on ecosystems, which makes us finally create a world that works in symbiosis with nature, not against it. The future of 2040 is therefore a place where people understand that our health and well-being are closely related to the condition of the planet.

Prihodnost ki si jo zelim.
I want a future where we plant more trees than we cut down, where we reverse the effects of ice storms and floods. I want a future where we don't accumulate waste electric cars and electric wind turbines. I want waste to be recovered and not piled on rubbish heaps. I want us not to be part of the great extinction of animal species that is taking place today. I want us to have zero emissions and not raise the temperature of the earth to the point of no return. Above all, I want the richest people in the world to be taxed at 100 per cent above the wealth threshold. And that these profits are invested back into nature. I want to see the preservation of native seeds and not of genetically modified species. I want less plastic and more sustainability. I want free healthcare, free salt and free water. I want a world without war and hunger. Without disease. No vaccines that change our genetics. No robots among us. No ai intelligences to threaten us.

Il futuro non è sempre progresso
Nel 2040 significa tra 15 anni, quando lo scrivente avrà l'età di 80 anni. La prima considerazione da fare è tra un'immaginazione forse un po' utopistica ed un'altra decisamente più realistica. Indubbiamente tra 15 anni la vita sarà molto diversa, dal momento che il mondo procede a velocità supersonica ma, almeno al mio punto di vista, questa progressione non è per nulla, o comunque non del tutto, positiva. Negli ultimi anni, purtroppo, le guerre stanno proliferando come funghi, e quindi la prima speranza per il futuro, cioè nel 2040, è che l'agitazione generalizzata possa rientrare in maniera decisiva. Un'altra considerazione, sulla quale non sono per niente fiducioso, è che la vita in genere possa, almeno in parte, rallentare la sua corsa, anche se mi sembra che la cosiddetta evoluzione tecnologica stia spingendo in una direzione assolutamente opposta. Dal punto di vista strettamente spero, se ci sarò ancora, di poter godere di una discreta salute.

speranza
I hope that there will be less bureaucracy in carrying out practices and streamlining all procedures relating to requests for documents, aid, etc., I hope that there will be less taxes and more work for young people and that there will be the sharing of the common good that is missing in our institutions today.

Dragi dnevnik
1 January 2040 9am. I'm sitting on the terrace, it's snowing... A lot of snow. We have those real winters again. We took care of our land in time. Since we cut air traffic, our land has recovered. And since the wars stopped, the climate has improved. I am thinking about what I need to pack in my suitcase, I am going to the spa. Since we have a 3 to 1 ratio we are living very well. A director can have 3 times a worker's salary. And so my salary is decent too. I can also afford a few days of relaxation in a spa, a health resort. The children have their own flat. They built a lot of flats a few years ago. 60 square metres. Before that, they built luhsuzna huge flats, it was no use. 4 flats could be made out of one. Well, now that's sorted too. And if you need a doctor you get one immediately, there are no queues. I work 4 days a week and so I have time to tend to my garden. We are all trying to be self sufficient. We have factories again and people like to go to work since they have fair pay. And my town is Slovenian again. Now that work is paid fairly we have enough people of our people working. Foreigners have returned to their countries. Dear diary that is enough for today. Let us write to each other again tomorrow. I am hurrying to the spa.
