Healthier and safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists, a dramatic change of direction to reach net zero asap, and of course, world peace!

Yes to more peace! As well as so many of the other things posted in this thread.

Above all, peace. And more tolerance.

At this difficult time I wish for peace.

Old fashioned values.
Families talking to eachother instead of gawping at their phones constantly,especialy whilst eating out.

Peace, all over the world.

More butterflies and more species of birds.
More tolerance of those who struggle with life .

Kindness - one good deed a day ?

Unity, there are so many divisions between people and nations.

Respect.

More tolerance amongst people no matter what their colour, religion, beliefs, sexual orientation, political affiliation or opinions may be. More decent and purpose built education for children with special needs. The UK is woefully poor in delivering this. Every child deserves the chance to fulfill their potential.

Empathy and kindness

Kim19 Thu 10-Mar-22 17:31:26

A sense of fair play and some advance thinking from our government with masses of social housing as an absolute priority. I'm allowed to fantasize aren't I?!!

Perhaps someone could work on calorieless chocolate Lucca, then I would agree as long as the taste wasn’t altered.

Lucca Thu 10-Mar-22 17:21:48

Not really

Chocolate

LauraNorderr Thu 10-Mar-22 17:19:35

Compassion

NotTooOld Thu 10-Mar-22 17:17:17

Peace - and more grandchildren reading books instead of their phones!

Yammy Thu 10-Mar-22 17:10:54

More appreciation of simple pleasures and be more ready to share them and Peace for all.

Grandmabatty Thu 10-Mar-22 17:05:56

More equity between the haves and the have-nots. Obvious one is more peace and understanding in the world.

Yesterday there was a thread headed 'what is there too much of?' and I thought we might want to focus now on what we'd like more of!
For me, it includes more readiness to understand people unlike ourselves ( which does not mean we have to agree with them), more compassion for people in desperate circumstances like Ukrainian refugees, more help for people who have to choose between eating and heating - and lots of other things. I wonder what others would like more of?
