Massive campaigns to reduce water usage with efficiency and recycling/purifying better. Massive campaigns to compost all food scrap, excrement and even our dead, the way nature intended, to rebuild our depleted soils. Increase the GEN 4 reactors to replace all the coal fired power plants, encourage solar power and cooking, wind power, wave and tidal power. Get rid of the huge grids. Localize food and power, with more cottage farming and independent homes. Reduce the growth only economy to steady state environmental economics. Reduce, re-use and recycle with sustainability becoming a Holy Word!!! Return of sails to the seas, no jet traffic, and all bio-fuel hybrid or electric, or people powered transportation. Green as a way of life, both spiritually, and physically.
