What do you think an ideal world would be like for our great grand children?

Question

in my class (environmental learning) we were asked to go in the "future" and say what we would like that world to be like for our great grand children.... we got answers like: Clean, safe, happy etc.... i thought it would be interesting to get more opinions....

Answer 1

A place where the government listens to everyone's opinion and bases their decisions on a way which helps every-one.

Every child not matter where they come from should also feel safe, secure with out the trauma of war, famine and disease.

I also hope that every-child has the basic needs of education, food, clean water, shelter and some who loves them.

Answer 2

more or less the same as the planet is being helped by the inhabitants, albeit very late, but the impact should be something that would take effect sometime in the future. unfortunately, we would not be privvy to this information only time can tell.  but if you go by the state of the governments and their greed for power, the environment may well be obliterated in one foul swoop. SAD FACT.

Answer 3

freedom for every country

Answer 4

if this is ideal. than everything the world isn't now!

Answer 5

Happyness. anything that can bring happeness works for me.  crime to end and love to be found.

Answer 6

I hope that they still have the right to go hunting................

Answer 7

For me, Ideal would mean everyone becoming vegetarian (if not vegan).  It would mean an end to factory farming, which contributes to water polution, green house gases (and much more) when we know these ways are not sustainable.  It would mean the end of pesticide ridden cash crops.

If everyone turned veg, we could put a dent into world hunger, 1 cow eats enough grain (per year) to feed 10 families.  Then the transportation.  It all adds up.

It would also be ideal to have very strict laws protecting our ecotones.  

I don't think that "happy" is a realistic answer, until we all feel satisfied with ourselves by working hard to live, we will be plagued with "depression, disorders" etc.

It would also be nice for people to take responsibility for who they support and what kind of impact their decisions make.  It's terrible that we let huge companies take advantage of us but not being aware of what we purchase.

It's hard sometimes to have any faith in humanity at all when so many of us are walking blindly.

Answer 8

unless we cut down on our CO2 loads of ice caps will have melted flooding a small amount inland and there will be a massive hole in the ozone

Answer 9

A planet with a total population of 1 billion people, not 12 billion.
