It's 2035. You just walked out your door into a world that got through the shocks of 2024 -26 more connected, a little ecologically healthier, with civil and human rights strengthened & with commitment to actually being a just & ecological society. What's the 1st thing you see?
Walking and cycling prioritized in cities, clean transit and renewables projects in the region. Large-scale river and wetland restoration. All exist already in North Karelia.
A blooming scene instead of an enterprise that produces plastic all day long with deadly smells that gets you asthma and unhealthyness.
A blooming healthy area without thought about the problems this enterprise causes to oceans and the whole world.
That would really be great. Thanks for that.
Housing owned by the occupants, generating their own energy. Artists living sustainable lives by being able to both keep the rights to their product and the ability to effectively market it.
well first off it will mean i've made it alive to 70 so as long as that's working for me and i don't hate it - that would be great. right now under current conditions IF i make it to 70 i suspect i will wish i hadn't. we may not deserve respect but we deserve dignity, if we give it to others
Children outside playing, knowing they can trust the adults around them. Thriving public schools, well-paid teachers, free school lunch, universal day care. Abortion justice, equal pay. No police, no prisons
In such a world, my children would surely have children.
Perhaps then I would hear the laughter of happy children and see my grandchildren playing in a blooming meadow or on a car-free street? 😍
Women, walking outside without rape whistles, without mace, without weapons on their key rings, without having texted trusted friends of their whereabouts
