Answer 4

There's a thousand and one things that we could do but because of the drawbacks we're not really inclined to do that much.  Here's a few that spring to mind...

> Alternative energy sources - solar, geothermal, hydro, wind etc

> Alternative fuels - LPG, biofuels, electric hybrids etc

> Less mineral extaction in favour of more sustainable natural resources

> Protecting water supplies

> Protecting wildlife, preventing overfishing, hunting quotas

> Reducing pollution

> Recycling more

> Better use of resources

> More reliance and emphasis on local produce

> Use of natural materials instead of synthetic ones

> Less dependency on oil and all the associated problems

> Providing incentives to be environmentally conscious

> Less intensive agriculture

> Replenishing forests and other resources as they're used

> Better education regarding the above
