The world, if everyone were like you (lighthearted!)

What would your local world look like if everyone were like you? Lighthearted things please, yes we all want peace etc but… And it doesn’t need to make complete sense either :-)

These are some things I think would happen in my world:

No cars, but lots of buses/taxis/trams/trains etc
Very few town/city cafés, but more of them in rural areas (for breaks when walking)
No fashion trends. People would walk around in jeans and T-shirts/sweaters most of the time
Lots of colourful clothes (lots of stripy things) and fewer grey/black/dark blue items
No shoes with heels higher than, say, an inch
No make-up and fewer hairdressers
Hardly any new ’electronic’ music but lots of new instrumental music
Very few clothes shops
Loads of shops selling outdoors stuff
Loads of second hand shops (yes, not sure how this goes together with few clothes shops for new clothes…)
Loads of bookshops
Shops where you can borrow tools instead of buying them would crop up everywhere
Everyone would chat with each other sometimes at bus stops, on the bus, train etc
Shops would have to employ a lot of new staff to deal with people complaining about and asking for refunds about incorrect price tags on shelves (or they could just ensure that the system has the right price noted!)
No tobacco or drugs
No litter anywhere ever
Lots of TV-programmes and radio programmes that would teach people various things/discuss things (David Attenborough etc, question time, news, repair shop…)
Also lots of light hearted TV programmes that are not based on humiliating people or ’voting someone out’ in nasty ways
No films or thrillers with lots of shooting and no horror movies :-)

What would the world look like if everyone had your taste and desires?

Dogs everywhere and cats don't exist.

Life expectancy would plummet as I'm too squeamish to be a doctor.

There would be no crime though, which might make up for it.
