I see the future of Europe as a place where fairness, sustainability, and social responsibility are at the heart of society. I hope that single parents receive more support from the state, whether through financial aid, better childcare options, or more flexible work opportunities. Raising a child alone should not mean struggling endlessly, and society should do more to ensure that single parents and their children have the same opportunities as any other family.

Parental leave should also be equally accessible to both parents, allowing them to take time off work without financial stress. In the future, I hope it becomes the norm for both parents to share in the early months of childcare, creating stronger family bonds and a more equal division of responsibilities at home.

At the same time, I believe the influence of social media needs to change. Right now, too many people make money from it in ways that encourage unhealthy lifestyles, unrealistic expectations, and misinformation. I hope that in the future, social media will focus more on meaningful interactions, education, and creativity rather than being a platform for quick money and exploitation.

Another crucial issue is the housing crisis, which is making it harder for people to find a stable home. I hope Europe works toward solutions that make housing more affordable, whether through better policies, sustainable urban planning, or new housing initiatives. Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to live, and this should be a priority for the future.

Most importantly, I hope that my generation and the next will take better care of our planet, protecting nature, animals, and sea creatures from harm. Climate change, pollution, and overfishing are major threats, and we need to take stronger action to reverse the damage. Europe should lead the way in sustainability, ensuring that future generations inherit a world that is healthier, cleaner, and more balanced.

A fairer, more responsible, and more sustainable Europe is the future I hope for.

Thanks for reading. Every little helps. Make this world, a better place.

Le temps qui passe

The morning sun filtered through the dense foliage of the trees lining my Parisian apartment. Once a gray, noisy avenue, my street was now a verdant oasis, where birdsong replaced the roar of cars. The transformation of Europe had been radical. In 2025, we were on the brink of a climatic precipice. But a global awakening had taken place. Europe had embarked on an ambitious reforestation and sustainable development project. Cities were redesigned, and nature reclaimed its rights. Gasoline-powered cars disappeared, replaced by electric vehicles and efficient public transport. My day began with a bike ride along the old tracks, now transformed into winding cycle paths through parks and forests. Lunch consisted of fresh, local produce grown on rooftops and in community gardens dotted around the city. The afternoon was devoted to work, but even the offices were green and bright, with open coworking spaces and soothing views of the surrounding nature. Life in 2050 was slower, more conscious. We had swapped the frantic race for a pace more respectful of our environment and well-being. Europe had become a model of sustainable development, a society where technology and nature coexisted in harmony. And every day, I was delighted to have contributed, in my own small way, to this transformation.

Un espoir de bonheur collectif.

A European future capable of managing international crises with clear and precise objectives. Perhaps a new constitution less oriented towards a liberal economy (which doesn't mean freedom at all) but more towards respect for individual freedoms in relation to multinationals, more ecology, more autonomy in terms of food self-sufficiency. A greater capacity for energy autonomy, too, by being inventive in this area. Mass investment in research in this field would be an option. Regaining our pharmaceutical sovereignty would be reassuring. It would also be reassuring to see a return to social progress, and to stop blaming the weakest members of society (women, the unemployed, immigrants, etc.), who are not responsible for the crises we're going through. The culprits are the economic system (mainly liberal) and over-protected professional politicians. Limiting personal fortunes might be an interesting way of avoiding an oligarchic drift.

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.
