Tommi Laitio, the director of youth affairs for Helsinki, discusses how life could be better and more sustainable by 2030. He notes that while individual lives may improve, overall progress requires that all lives improve. Some ways to work towards this are by changing housing, transportation, food, and leisure habits to be greener and more shared. No single big change happens alone, and helping others can help overcome discouragement. Changing lifestyles can change hopes and ultimately politics.
