Recycle; most especially plastics and glass. It could be done and it would make quite a difference. Of course, we would have to become a far more responsible species... and it might cost a little more time and effort than tossing water bottles out the car window.
What we lack is leadership that doesn't prefer profit and politics over common sense.
this is what several of the messages in that other thread were getting at-- that every technological step forward brings with it a greater step backwards in terms of consequences.
one small example-- plastic recycling for example is in rough waters right now. due to very low oil prices, the costs of plastic recycling are around equal to the profits... or even more.
we are years and years behind where we needed to be with green energy and pollution control, and of course, every country has their own opinion on the matter which usually relates to their economic priorities. it's a total mess, with the probability of it being 'fixed' on the global scale pretty much laughably unlikely.
As a species, we are the house divided and that's exactly the way we are kept.
