2050. Sunrise over Rome's Old Town paints the sky a soft orange colour. The city wakes quietly, but already the whisper of electric vehicles and the light gust of wind carrying the salt of the Mediterranean can be heard.

Europe has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. The climate crisis has forced countries to focus on renewable energy, and cities have become greener, with polluting cars virtually disappearing from the streets, replaced by autonomous electric cars and bicycles. Food production has also changed: vertical farms have solved product shortages and lab-grown meat has become a common choice.

Today, my plans include a quick trip to Paris on the hyper-trains that now connect all Europe's major cities. The journey will take just an hour - time for a cup of coffee and a short chat with friends via hologram. Life has become more convenient, but have people become happier? That's what we're still looking for.

Bez Putina a Green Dealu máme větší šanci
The situation in Europe from a security point of view has improved - there is a strong "European" army capable of deterring Russia from carrying out further outbursts. Russia is no longer ruled by Putin or his political cronies, and Siberia has separated from Russia as a separate state entity. Europe - after the breakup of the European Union, the influence of Islam in its western states has intensified - there are representatives of Islamist political parties in its parliaments and there is increasing pressure to declare caliphates in individual countries. In the eastern countries, more democratic conditions of governance have been maintained, but the main problem here is not Islamism but the tendency towards an absolutist form of government. Following the revocation of Green Deal policies, the Czech Republic is facing a number of lawsuits from solar operators. The resulting Ukrainian political party is growing in influence.

Sme generácia, ktorá prestala myslieť na seba.
In 2040, people are not starving, there is a lack of finance, and the food in the shops is not like that of millionaires. Children play in parks, they don't deal with phones, wifi or social networks. Old people walk happily in the streets because they know the state is not robbing them of their pensions. Cancer will disappear from the world, a cure has been found. Humanity is building again but not for the benefit of itself but for the benefit of the earth. A million eco-friendly stations are built. Electricity in houses is free because the largest solar field has been built. Warehouses have been abolished. Waste has been separated and reused. We live in a year when the best breathing is outdoors. When the sun does not cause allergies. When natural disasters have ceased. There is no tornado, there is no flood. And the economy is thriving, we have plenty of water and plenty of sunshine. Every year it gets better and better. We don't have sun scorched fields and we don't have swamps from soils. We are a generation that has stopped thinking about ourselves, we are a generation that has started thinking about the land. We are the best thing since 1900. Maybe that kind of simple thinking has helped us. When we connected the past with the future, so that life would be in symbiosis. So that we could give and take without minus losses. And that's how I would end it. It's a better future not only for people but for the earth.

Nove Slovensko s lepšim porstredim
For the future of our country I wish the political situation to improve. That everyone should have equal rights without exception of gender orientation or other opinion. Today's situation is very poor in this respect and I therefore wish it to improve. I also wish that our government would be more concerned about people and less concerned about itself. I wish that nature continues to grow and that global warming does not get worse. The financial situation of our country is not so bad, but I wish that some jobs or teachers and others would get higher salaries. On the whole, as long as I try and work on our country and do not give up, I think we could look forward to a better future. Because I, too, as a young woman, want a good future for my future children.
