Grandma's house stood high on a hillside overlooking an endless mosaic of forests and lakes. Every summer Kaisa travelled there to spend a few months in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and school troubles. This year, however, everything seemed different – grandmother had become quieter, and there was some unexplained feeling in the house, as if someone was watching her.

One night Kaisa woke up with a strange whisper. At first, he thought it was just the wind playing in the cracks of an old wooden house, but the voice sounded too clear. He got up from the bed and peeked out the window. Outside, right under the old apple tree, stood a dark statue. My heart began to beat faster. Kaisa closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, the statue was gone.

The next morning, she decided to ask her grandmother if she knew anything about the sounds of the night. Grandma sighed and said: “Some stories come to us in our dreams, some actually decide to come back...”

Bessere Mobilität und weniger Energie sorgen
Mobility will be somewhat different than it is today. In the meantime, there will be completely autonomous cars. In addition, local public transport will be largely free for everyone to use. The new cars will use a mixture of renewable raw materials as fuel, which are significantly more climate-neutral than conventional fuels made from fossil fuels. Almost everyone will produce their own electricity because the majority of residential buildings will have photovoltaic systems on their roofs.

Deutschlands Zukunft
In my future, Germany would not support all the laws that the EU decides in its arrogant omnipotence. Germany would decide for itself whether and how many migrants it wanted to have in the country. Then there would be no more violent foreigners in this country. The tax money earned by the citizens would be spent first and foremost on the needs of their own country and there would no longer be so much money flowing abroad. Germany would be more independent of the EU. And you can criticize the government without being stigmatized or punished

Jsem šťastná..
I woke up in the year 2040, greeting my robot, who is currently preparing breakfast, a cocktail of different colored capsules. He answers my greeting and informs me of the weather, again just sunshine without a cloud. Then watching the news from the world, the leaders of all the countries of the world are gathered and together they celebrate 10 years of peace, no wars, increased prosperity...I think to myself, amazing times.

Verpasste Chancen
Unfortunately, scientists' predictions and warnings about climate change have been ignored for decades and political decisions have been driven by profit interests. Historical opportunities to enable a good life for all people have been missed. Struggles over the distribution of water and resources were the order of the day, and good coexistence in society was nothing more than a myth told by the ancients.
