Solutions to environment problems , big and small.
Make plastic drinking containers illegal to manufacture and sell. Make glass or metal instead of plastic for all drinking containers. Glass/metal does not float. Glass/metal will not be eaten by any animal. All coffee shops, all take along drinking water containers would be in glass or metal. https://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/plastic-bottles-1.5341617
The first problem is the increasing CO2 emissions from all the technology that uses combustion.

Trap water
Water is the most necessary thing for life.
What I would wish to do is turn all the deserts green with plants and trees harvesting the sun energy, taking carbon out of the atmosphere. AND/OR make solar collector that turn the sunlight into some kind of energy man needs, with plants that grow on the light spillover/ doesn't get captured by the solar collector. All that sunlight going to waste ( not being used) is wrong. Beavers that create dams, trap water in pools that support life. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/28/science/reversing-course-on-beavers.html

Panama Canal
A man made example of trapping water is the Panama canal "The dam, completed in 1935, created Madden Lake (later Alajuela Lake), which provides additional water storage for the canal."Water falling in the mountains is trapped/dammed. All freshwater falling from the sky must be slowed as much as possible on its return trip to the sea, as the freshwater supports (plant) life.

Changing the desert has been done small scale by trapping water in Compost. All the rich peoples shit should be used as fertilizer.

2)Deposits
Deposits on containers or bottles today are far too low in cost.
 |
| January 29, 2021 Cans in garbage that are not worth the effort to recycle for the work involved. |
 | ||
| Feb 12, 2021 Cans are too much trouble to get the small amount of money back, so are put with regular garbage. |
August 14 2021 . It is not worth their time to get their deposit money back.
Deposits have to be at least the same price as the contents of the container. Five ( 5) cents is too low to motivate someone to look after their garbage. So all glass and plastic containers would have an example price of $2.00 deposit or more each. The consumer can not manufacture these bottles/containers, so enforcement is easy. If a person is poor they will not be able to enter the system of drinking beverages. Tough luck buddy. Those selling the drinks of course oppose this idea, but our government is supposed to represent the peoples interests, not the Corporations."They claimed that the refund will act as a tax on their products and harm their sales."

3 ) City street rainwater
4) Forest fires
5) Home heating and cooling effectively.
6) Escape Velocity
8) Solar lighting with fiber optic cable. All highrise building should have solar lighting mandated by law, or whoever pays the electricity for lighting should want a free light source .http://www.explainthatstuff.com/hybrid-solar-lighting.html
10) Repair. We should be able to repair broken items. http://ifixit.org/blog/7696/restart-center/
11) Water for drinking. 768 million people need it .This looks good, but I can't say for certain
12) Incompetence ( or evil?) . The city plants trees at taxpayer expense, then the people who cut the grass around the trees with their powered grass cutting tools damage the tree. How did the tree die? You cut the outer layer. (need photos) If done on purpose it is called girdling a tree.
"The only part of a tree that is actually composed of living cells is an extremely thin layer just below the bark called the cambium."
