We need to make it profitable to do the good things and not profitable to do the bad things. This way people will do the good things and not the bad things. The most straight forward way to do this would be to make doing the bad things more expensive, which means taxing carbon emissions. Alongside this would be to create alternatives that are cheaper and easier to use. Unfortunately this would mean actually spending money, making investments in public works, and changing things away from the status quo, and apparently this is impossible. So we're going to sleep walk into our doom rather than do basic things like making gas more expensive and building public transit.
