I wish more people around the world will put themselves in someone else’s shoes. Let’s make this the decade of empathy.

In ten years I hope that a number of cities around the world are actually already leading us into a bright green way of life, with concrete working models for zero-impact housing, clean energy, ecological food systems, sustainable urban place-making and innovative business cultures.

Within the next decade I wish to see our communities coming back together: kids on bikes, eggs borrowed from a neighbor, veggies bought at a stand down the street, over-the-fence chats, street games…

I wish for the pervasive apathy of our generation to subside, allowing us to step up & deal with the important global issues (environment, politics, gov’t secrecy, etc) that are in dire need of (new) solutions.

I hope for oil to become so expensive that it forces each and every one of us to become truly creative about how we live day-to-day.

I wish for everyone to know the joy of living with a goofy dog.

Peace and stability for the Papuan peoples… and a global realisation that as interconnected beings we must live with respect, in balance and with concern for others.

Within the next decade I’m hoping a cure for cancer can found.

Within the next decade I’d wish to see the wealth of the world more evenly distributed to all the population of the world.

I am wishing for a deep sense of peace in my heart and in the hearts of others. I also always wish for great movies in any given year!

My wish is for the complete halt of child sex trade and trafficking in poor countries like Cambodia or DR of Congo.

My wish is that the US will cease to use its military and clandestine forces to meddle in other countries, and rather direct their resources to their domestic problems of health care and the alleviation of poverty.

I wish that within the next decade, human beings will learn to live in harmony with nature.

I wish to drastically reduce plastic in the world and get those plastic islands cleaned up.

That we start designing our cities around people first and cars second (or third or fourth or…)

I would like to see a diminishment in the social conservatism that is much too evident throughout North America today, and a greater recognition of the social importance of liberal values.

I also wish the world would come up with a better form of government than democracy, which I am tired of.

In the next decade I would like to see a global shift away from hoarding and protectivism, to valuing and building community on big and small scales.

Within the next ten years I’d like to see automobile manufacturers design a 100% electric car that’s affordable for the average person.

I’d like to see personal finance classes taught at a highschool level.

Talk about how cooperating, not competing, could transform the world.

I wish that in 10 years there is an app to deposit happiness into your savings account and withdrawl it for people that have none.

I wish to fly in Neverland with Peter Pan!
