Dear educators, I have been thinking.
I don't think we should be trained into money making and obeying people

Instead
I think I should make homes for the insects I see hiding in the bushes
I think I should make a warm bath for my guardian
I think I should not be as afraid of dancing with the one I love
I think I should dare to pick a berry from a bush and eat it.

Let me not forget about the ruthless beauty of our existence
Teach me how to love it
How to survive

Curriculum creator, let us utilize our classrooms in the most healthy way possible
to let us slowly breath in and breathe out into a new, sustainable, generation
where both mine and Sarah’s, and Noa’s, and Mischa and Mohammed’s and Aisha’s belly can be full
So that we can play
And progress.
Exist

Curriculum creator, let us merge all documented knowledge to meet our basic needs in the most effective way possible
let me tell you what I need
and then maybe we could create a space within which we can survive
and thrive.

Let me care
And then perhaps
You can promise me a future.

this is a poem i have made about a potential future

Global warming has stopped, temperatures are falling again, hurray! Cars run on hydrogen and solid-state batteries, one charge lasts 2000 km. Plastic has been largely banned. The internet giants have been put in their place and must act in the same way as public broadcasters. The global population has been shrinking for 15 years. Most plastic has been fished out of the sea.

Budućnost održive energije

I want fossil fuels to be a thing of the past, and renewable sources from sun, wind and hydro to cover everything. From households to industry. Solar panels on the roofs of every building give us energy independence. Then the air would be clean, the oceans would be protected and climate change would be stopped. Electric cars and public transport are used. People are becoming more aware of the importance of respecting nature and we are living much healthier lives.

even if it is utopian to write anything about a future that is impossible for me to achieve ( given my age), a dream for my children and mine I might have, to halve the extravagance and selfishness, the thirst for money and power, to live without tax and financial oppression , politicians by the people, in an honest and true way, to try to leave a still livable and enjoyable earth to our grandchildren, to wake up from this deep sleep caused by these vile overlords of a world that is NOT theirs.

Ma ville

I had a dream, the dream of cities that look like villages, islets of trees, plants that separate neighborhoods, more hlm, residences, houses with gardens, collective gardens, plantations of fruit trees and of course, people know each other, help each other, exchange barter, furniture, clothes, food ... there are children playing on the street, they are safe, neighbors monitor them, there is an important associative life and investment, we feel responsible for our "neighborhood-village"
