It's tempting to say "yay, there was some silver lining behind the pandemic", but a growing/recovering economy will easily pollute much more to catch up (look at India and China for example during pre-COVID times).
Even if that wasn't to happen, the only thing we successfully did was delay the problem. There is no shortcut. We need to encourage change from the bottom, all the way to the top. Ideally it shouldn't have a drastic impact on daily life.
I think given the diverse and mostly intelligent crowd here on HN it should be possible to really look at creating proper solutions that drive real change. It doesn't even need to be revolutionary, you can start today by cutting down on waste, find efficiencies in your work, switching to sustainable resources, etc. The little things add up.
