Those don't at all feel like low-hanging fruit.
International regulation requires global coordination. And there's always going to be some country that uses non-compliance as a way to make money. This makes A and B very difficult and expensive to tackle.
And C will never happen because big-agra is incredibly powerful.
By contrast, the EPA is a single entity that's powerful enough to enact and enforce changes across the entire USA.
I feel like people don't realize just how effective EPA initiatives are in this space. Energy Star regulations have drastically increased the efficiency of appliances all across the world. And have done so in only 30 years.
