My best future of 2040 is the abatement of local and global environmental pollution that is bringing catastrophic events to many parts of the planet. In my opinion this will happen with alternative energy sources such as the expansion of wind distributed on offshore wind farms, the improved exploitation of underwater turbines with tidal motion and the improvement of nuclear fusion power plant processes. This energy will bring a new green mobility with vehicles that will use rechargeable batteries with energy cartridges that will not release C02 and other waste gases harmful to humans, animals and vegetation

It's March 2040. As I'm not working today, I'm going to take the opportunity to tend to my vegetable garden. As it hasn't rained for two days, I'm going to take the opportunity to water it with the water stored in the rainwater collector. This collector is distributed free of charge to people who have backyards so that they can use rainwater to water small areas. I check the energy production of the community solar panels that I have installed. The use of panels in energy communities is now common and allows this resource to be shared in small communities (villages or neighbourhoods), greatly optimizing energy consumption and considerably reducing bills. After tending the garden, I go shopping in my electric car. Unlike the first electric vehicles, considerable autonomy is now possible, even on long journeys, with the inclusion of solar panels on the vehicle itself. Contrary to what you might think, there are still many employees in supermarkets, as technology has come to help people, not replace them. Before returning home, I take the opportunity to pick up my grandchildren from the kindergarten, where they spent the day playing and enjoying nature. I take the opportunity to do my own and the children's laundry. As the detergents used are organic and environmentally friendly, the water from the washing is also recovered and can be used, for example, to wash the floors. As my son and daughter-in-law come to pick up the children, I take the opportunity to prepare dinner for everyone. We all work, but as I'm older, I now have reduced working hours that allow me to help with my grandchildren's education. My son and daughter-in-law can also request reduced working hours if they need to look after me when I'm not working or am ill. When a caregiver is needed, we can also use community resources. Fewer and fewer people are institutionalized, and there is a "pool" of caregivers who are available for home care, collaborating with families. The future can be uncomplicated when technology and legislation are used for the benefit of people and communities.

The future I would like for the citizens of Greece and Greece itself in Europe is very different from what it seems to be. I envision a Europe that is strong and independent of third countries where peace and prosperity will prevail for all citizens of the member states including the Greeks. I hope for a more united Europe where Europe is independent and all countries are on the same level. Where the infrastructure will serve the citizens, where the health systems of each country will share knowledge, where each country will offer in the sector that is best products and services for the common benefit of Europeans. A Europe that has a sound legal framework and condemns injustice. A Europe that will preserve the culture and language of each country. A Europe that promotes the diversity of the culture, customs and traditions of each Member State. A Europe that will have borders not between member countries but with all other countries, with limits and awareness of human rights, but also protecting the citizens of member countries and not returning the unauthorised flow of migrants. I envision a Europe that will be an example for all other countries to follow!!!
