How about we fully develop
Sea-Water Power Generation technology and take from the most abundant renewable resource on the planet: Our rising oceans. That way we can counter the immediate effects of global warming and as well undo our addiction to dirty fossil fuel technologies. This would undermine the Big Business' interests to maintain constant-war, and the whole world could have access to free energy.
This energy could be used to sustain us, feed the starving, power our homes and vehicles... Zero-Waste technologies could be the foundation for a truly sustainable future, and together we could come together to build a global infrastructure in which we would coexist peacefully.
If only we can rearrange the way we consume onto the tracks of true sustainability, ALL of the peoples of the world (including Muslims) could enter a new era of peace.
As the Christians constantly wish for, let's have a Jubilee and erase all interest & debt across the planet, and permanently ban such practices so that a day's labour equals a day's labour, and trade/cooperation can manifest in fair methods.
If we also banned the 3 primary problem-makers and the world got onboard with undoing our self-destructive tendancies, we'd also be a great deal better off: Tobacco, Drugs, and Alcohol. If these three didn't exist, this trouble-compounding element of humanity would be greatly diminished. Instead, let's get high on God! ;-)
Along the lines of a Zero-Waste policy, let's put much more emphasis on Recycle Technologies. I think we've taken just about enough of the resources from out of the Earth, so let's make better use of the metals and whatnot that we already have in a more frugal way. Any gaps in resource for a particular item should be filled using bioresources, like Hemp or Lumber that is produced in Sustainable Agriculture Projects.
Species Repopulation should also be a high priority, and could be an entire new branch of employment. I saw the film "The 11th Hour" (about global warming) and in it I remember there being a scientist who said that if we calculate the worth of what the planet's natural ecosystems preform for us (bees pollinating the plants, cloud watering the fields, bacteria recycling biomatter, etc) it would be 30 times greater than the entire world's GDP. So its clear that the Earth's sytems are incredibly valuable to us: Let's cultivate this, let's work towards healing these systems.
Also, we should make me King of Canada so that I can continue to think up brilliant ideas like the above, using scientists, historians, and shieks (not career politians) as my council...
Hahahah, I'm just kidding. About the last one, anyway. King of Canada sure has a nice ring to it, though... ;-p
