Question

What should be done to solve environmental problems worldwide?

Answer 1

Nothing needs to be done, we need to stop doing.

It is mainly about changing human values to be aware that we depend on a healthy environment, we are not separate from the concequences of our actions.

2. Building positive alternatives and sustainable ways of living

Answer 2

TAX MANUFACTURERS of hugely polluting products.  Ok, you go into a store and you see a bunch of items, let's say baskets for example.  Some of them are wire.  Some of them made from natural fibers.  Some plastic.  Which will be the cheapest?  Always the plastic c**p that they manufacture for next to nothing, probably pay the chinese they're exploiting next to nothing for its manufacture.  And of course, you buy it because it's cheapest.  Why should manufacturers of grossly polluting items get to make them so cheap?  If we went to a sales tax for this, it would force the manufacturers to be responsible.  When consumers' cheapest option is NOT polluting, that will be the day we will do the most for global pollution, and probably have great economies and less labor exploitation to boot.
