Good ideas, but not good enough. Recycling almost doesn't work at current technology levels and costs. Unless you come with proper nanobots that would pick all those tiny thin pieces/layers of heavy metals and bad substances in all electronics for example. This kind of naivety is pretty dangerous from my point of view. Good intentions, but completely unrealistic in expecting to actually fix an ultra massive and complex problem, makes people reject scientific discussion and dig deeper for better understanding and just say things that makes them feel good and move on. Ie why not make more efficient cars - gee I wonder why nobody thought about that. I guess EU is regulating cars to hell killing whole product lines just for the heck of it. And its not enough, very far from it. We need to attack problem from all possible sides, and mining in places which can't be technically more polluted and can't harm anything alive is probably the most ecological thing apart from killing whole mankind or forcing it all back to the caves. And we should do more, much more. Like keep educating people, starting from schools, its not a rocket science. Subsidize and tax. Also, Mars is about humankind survival, it has been discussed here ad nausea. Who doesn't understand we need to diversify our location or mankind will 100% eventually die is again... dangerously naive.
