Change

In my 2060 there will be a lot of big changes like equal pay for all and humans and overall equality. We will be able to focus on the environment as our first priority.

A key thing that has changed between 2020 and 2060 is that there is equal pay for everyone no matter race and gender. this changed because why pay people differently because of those details especially if they are doing the same job and working the same hours. It just doesn't make sense. And the unequal pay was causing outrage by many (and for a good reason). Another thing that changed was, the people on earth now have limits on the things they are putting into the environment like fuel, trash, greenhouse gasses, etc. People are doing this to help the global crisis of climate change, and it is noticeably helping. Greta Thunberg inspires me to think about climate change and what we can do to help stop it or at least help slow it down in the long run. She stands out to me and stays in my mind because she is a very powerful young female role model, and I look up to her because of that.

Our 2060

Think about the current moment, your situation and what you see around you - your fears and concerns. Take a deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. Now think about something that inspires you: a story from popular culture, folklore, your faith, your childhood. The story could be non-fiction, fiction or even fantasy. It could be something you have noticed happening around you. It could be a story about a person in your life. Imagine it is now the year 2060 and the world is as you would like it to be. What is possible in 2060? How do people live, engage, move around, learn, communicate, work, take care of themselves etc? Now, answer the questions below: What is a key thing that has changed between 2020 and 2060? And, why? What story, thing, event, or person inspires you? Why? Include 2-3 words that tag your response. Share your response in any format you like - write, draw, record audio, make a short video (anything else works too, but note that the google form submission option only supports text and links).
