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We also have a new model of permaculture-based agriculture, where artificial fertilizers and pesticides have been replaced by natural cultivation methods, and food production is local, organic and adapted to the needs of the community, with minimal impact on the environment.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

2040 début de la sobriété énergétique
on january 1, 2040, the european union will ban all individual vehicles, whatever their mode of propulsion. Subsidies have been distributed European citizens to invest in bicycles, be they 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers or family sedans. All cities are pedestrianized, and to get from one city to another, or from one country to another, numerous train and streetcar tracks have been created. The entire agricultural system has been overhauled and intensive productivity banished. Sobriety is on the march

Leben in 2040
As I'm getting older, I want to live as lightly as possible. Less work in the garden and more relaxing on the terrace. Everything should be as easy to reach as possible, i.e. shopping facilities, doctors, hospital, swimming pools, physiotherapy practices, etc. There are also plenty of "meals on wheels", as people hardly ever cook for themselves anymore. Cabs should be free so that people are a little less dependent on public transport. Everything should be easily accessible on foot or in a wheelchair.

Klimaneutrale Bildungsfreundliche Zukunft
I imagine that mobility will become much more individualized - there will be cars/small aircraft that drive autonomously and can be called up at any time from wherever you want to go. Of course, the vehicles are climate-neutral and connected in such a way that there are no traffic jams or delays. Our education starts from an early age (even in kindergarten), there are appropriately small groups/classes. The teachers are well trained and can respond well to the children. So that they learn to enjoy education and feel self-efficacious and open up the world on their own. In school there is no more learning to forget but more knowledge to apply and how to learn. Because developments are very rapid. There won't be one profession that you learn for life. There will be no more truck colonies with enormous consumption, the electricity will come from renewable energies, at every house, garage, crash barrier, etc. Electricity can also be easily stored induvidually. Natural disasters are becoming fewer again, the weather is stabilizing.

Wird ein Traum Wahrheit?
I am now 86 years old and still feel really well. The last few years have not been easy, with the war in Ukraine, the fighting in the Middle East and political unrest in all countries leading people in a right-wing direction. Plus politicians who only had their own power in mind. It was difficult, but the common sense of the majority of people has led to a stabilization and consolidation of the political situation. It is important that the people have not drifted further apart and that common ground has once again come to the fore. We can actually be proud of Germany and its poets and thinkers again without feeling ashamed. The economy has become stable and the price hikes have come to an end. Children are getting an education that prepares them for life and makes them strong and intelligent. No one has to worry about falling ill and not being able to pay for necessary medical treatment. And why? - At last, everyone pays into the pension, health and long-term care insurance funds. Politicians are also paid according to the performance principle and are not rewarded with adequate pensions for poor performance or mistakes. It was a tough fight, but it was worth it. Oh yes, and pensioners are no longer a burden, but their lifetime achievements are recognized.
