One possibility is the use of fossil fuels for transportation and energy. As society continues to grapple with climate change and the need for sustainable practices, it’s likely that regulations will tighten significantly. In 50 years, we may see a complete shift towards renewable energy sources, making the use of gasoline and other fossil fuels not just discouraged, but illegal in many places. Additionally, activities related to other environmental harms, such as single-use plastics, could also face similar legal changes as awareness and urgency for environmental protection grow.
