In fifteen years I will walk down the inner city streets without moving to the other side of the foot path to avoid both eye contact and proximity to those people struggling with homelessness. There will be no need for me to avoid them out of humiliation - a result of my own selfish guilt and inability to help them financially. In 2040 there will be better supports for those without stable housing. Not just physical but emotional and social as well.

In 2040, Europe is full of innovation and sustainability. Cities have become self-sufficient ecosystems, where technology and nature coexist in perfect harmony. The streets look like a vertical garden, between buildings covered with plants that purify the air and hanging parks where greenery is the real protagonist. Combustion cars are now a distant memory, replaced by autonomous vehicles with solar or electric power. In the sky, silent drones transport goods, while people move on self-driving public transport, fast and always on time. In markets, where fruits and vegetables come from local and vertical crops, sustainable and pesticide-free. Food technology has drastically reduced the environmental impact of traditional agriculture. People greet each other with a genuine smile, not only for physical well-being, but also for increasing mental serenity, thanks to decades of policies that have focused on psychological support and the balance between private and professional life. Between 2025 and 2040, Europe undertook a profound transformation, where the climate emergency generated collective mobilisation. The European Union launched the Green Deal 2.0, promoting a rapid transition to renewable energy sources, and nations have worked together like never before, breaking down political barriers and promoting solidarity between peoples. The company has finally realized that growth can no longer be measured in terms of consumption, but in quality of life and sustainability. Resources are more evenly distributed, and social disparity has been reduced thanks to a universal welfare system that guarantees access to education, health and opportunities for all. The concept of work has changed radically, with an economy that rewards creativity, critical thinking and collaboration. In this future, Europe has become a beacon of hope for a world that seeks to reinvent itself.

Clean air, green meadows, beautiful, mushroom-filled forests. Healthy food produced by Polish farmers. Optimal prices, inflation 0. Quality of food without preservatives. Respected the law. Medicines for serious diseases, without queues to doctors and treatments. The possibility of using the sanatorium within the NFZ for everyone. No wars or armed conflicts. Oh, it's safe. Consistent governments, fair courts.

AI cleaned the world from people that enjoy killing each other because money and war is all that matters to them. In 2040 there are not so many people anymore and animals can have a chance to live and not be killed for the fur or exotic delicatesse. The world is clean and green. There are no any plastic bottles, any slop on the streets.
