Urlaubsplanung 2040

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

When I woke up this morning, it was already 39 degrees, and that at just 7 o'clock. How can one just stand it? Yesterday at noon we had 43 degrees in the shade. But it's only mid-May!° Better not think about it. During the summer holidays, we, my wife and our two children decided to go on holiday to Norway, so to speak, to cool off. Just thinking about it helps us throughout the day.
We had often thought of buying an air conditioner for the whole house. But it is unfortunately the case - if you think a little further - , that the problem of global warming does not get better as a result.
Bite your teeth together and endure. In the last five years, global warming has fallen by an annual average of 0.45 degrees, at least statistically. In 2050, temperatures are expected to return on average to 2028.
The summer holiday is already booked, so the hotel is built on a beautiful fjord with a small sandy beach and a cafe on stilts. In any case, we will go there by car, of course with electric drive, otherwise it has not been possible for 12 years. No one can afford to fly anymore, since the planes are powered by biokerosene, it's a good thing. After all, the tour by car is already part of our holiday and we take as much time as it takes. We decided to go on holiday from Denmark.

vivre simplement
In 2040, I'd like us to still be able to live in nature, to still be present, to still be in good health. I'd like my family to be able to continue to live in complete freedom, to maintain the French traditions that we hold so dear, to preserve the heritage that has made our country what it is, and for everyone to be able to live together in complete safety.

Grünes Utopia
In 2040, we will have managed to live sustainably and ecologically without exploiting nature any further. Damaging the environment leads to very high penalties. People have finally realized that humans, animals and the environment only work together - not separately. This is why nature and animal protection has become so important. Animal products are now only consumed and produced in exceptional cases. Animal rights have taken on a high priority. We have also come a long way in terms of technology, so that there are almost no private vehicles any more, but you can get to your destination quickly and easily with car sharing or public transport. Consumption has changed drastically and it is no longer about "more, more, more" and Provit, but about long-lasting, sustainable, social products that are good for everyone. There are awards for companies that act in a particularly honest, socially and environmentally responsible way. People are much healthier and happier. There is more cohesion and cultural exchange.

Freundlichkeit
I wish that people would treat each other more kindly again in the future. People should no longer just be selfish, because basically we're all in the same boat. I wish people would be more human and helpful again. Children should be brought up better again. Decency, politeness and above all consideration should become much more important again. The world as it is right now is too unfriendly, cold and aggressive. Today, people hardly dare to go outside in broad daylight, let alone in the evening.

Today's cities are more evenly populated. They are made up mainly of small, almost self-sufficient buildings, which produce their own heating and cooling thanks to thermal paints and vegetation covering roofs and walls. Connected, everything can be done by thought... opening, heating, ordering... housework is done autonomously by specialized robots. We don't meet much, since we go out less and virtual contact makes us almost present, thanks to 3D holograms. Human beings are more inward-looking, no longer travelling to meet or work.
