We could do a lot of things to save the earth. Action is much harder than hand waiving though. How do "we" go back to glass? Who is we? Who makes this order? How is it enforced? We can say OK we need to shut down all the gas plants and convert to nuclear starting this Wednesday, but that doesn't mean anything because good ideas don't just happen in this world. Business cases happen, and if the idea is a good one its a happy accident. We need to develop a framework where it is more profitable to turn to green choices than alternatives before we can expect the world to wake up and change overnight. And setting up such a system is impossible when indirect action and chaos theory has created the system we currently have today, one too big for anyone to fully understand or shift with a few lever pulls to no other consequence.
