Sustainable future

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I want to see a future where there is a more stable democratic geopolitical situation than today. The current situation in Europe and the world feels very volatile and much more unsafe than then I was younger and seems to be highly driven be extreme-right party political perspectives and people in power that tends to want a future that is more like the past - focusing on power of the past rather than technological progress and focusing on a future where we can live on our own planet. In 2040 I see Europe with a higher line of borders towards Russia and with a slowly healing relationship with the U.S. after large trust issue that has risen over many years from a U.S. goverment recovering from the current reshaping to past values. I see a European economy on a rise after years with an unstable situation. I also see much struggle and migration of people based on the increasing severity of climate changes that have only gotten worse over the past decades and a northern Europe struggling to get ready for the apparent future with colder weather due to the failing of the golf stream.

Well, as I imagine life in such a distant future, it must take another 15 years until 2040. I'll be you by the time I'm 70, as I imagine this life in 15 years. Well, I would like to build a large heating plant, of course ecological, which would use the energy of the sun and which would produce pr ad and heat for a small price. I would also like to see centers for the development of friendship and care, so that every person, regardless of age, can experience friendship. so that , children are taught in schools how to develop social competences, so that these important values, which were very much cared for by the kid, are returned, i.e. honesty, care, selflessness, empathy, so that people are good and friendly to each other. I also hope that Poland will fight for its position in Europe, and not, as we are now, a backwater, thanks to our politicians who have the interests of the country and the nation somewhere.

That there is peace in the world. It starts on the street that everyone treats everyone with respect. That there are no wars among the peoples. That we get climate change under control and not so much is destroyed by heat, drought and floods. That the economy is on the right track, that all people have good work and that they can afford everything and that prices do not rise to the bottomless.

I want a future where technology and ecology are developed. I wish cars were emission-free. To be electric vehicles, to allow homes to live comfortably and efficiently, while helping to reduce resource consumption. I would like to see health progress and thus increase people's life expectancy.

In 2040, in a sustainable Europe, there will be the opportunity to enjoy your own country and environment with its own culture and customs. Coleur locale is the motto. Countries adhere to local customs, dishes and products. Satisfied with what your own country offers you without choice stress of all sorts.
