My car is automated with manual over ride. I input my destination and sit back and enjoy the journey. My car is charged by power from a communal solar farm. Heating in my home is provided piped steam from local industry and farms. Power for my home is provided by a solar wall on the outside of the house as well as a solar panel on the roof.

By 2040, we have stopped chasing eternal growth. We have started to live a different life, with less focus on making money and more focus on time together. Our life is calmer, we spend more time in nature but without destroying and exploiting. We have turned from a society built on violent capital where the strongest wins, to a society where concern for each other and for the whole world we live in - the people in it, nature and animals - permeates the entire social apparatus.

I would like to see a united Europe, one that although united respects the various different cultures across the european cultures. Its beautiful to be diverse so no need to kill off where we started from . I would like to truly see an effort on having a more healthy environment not gimmicks. Why are we saying to decrease cars due to pollution but say nothing about the pollution that is produced from cows that is causing much more damage? we know we will not have a cleaner planet becasue we are truly not grabbing the bull by the horns, but rather playing with words and creating conferences to waste the time and money of countries to no avail.

I imagine a life of peace and harmony with nature. I am not green, but nature should be preserved and more renewable energy should be used. Hopefully we have some kind of renewable energy that is not expensive and people should not think so much about these costs. Surely there could be peace on earth and all wars would be over. It would be particularly important that Russia has pulled back and has lost much of its influence on the world stage.
