That is a good question, which I can't exactly answer

There is this link from other comments, which I am not sure how good it is: https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions

But in general if you create regulation for companies to produce less trash, explore all natural resources responsibly. Invest all public money and outsource contracts to the most environmentally friendly companies...

You don't need to punish the market If you just keep the current public investment in environmental R&D and eventually you'll have the better product, and who invested will be rich... just standard stuff really

Also people in general were always in favour of clean and green. The only issue has been and will be corporate greed

A Corporate carbon tax would be interesting if all profits went local first. And people decided where it should go

hmm yea, that make sense, but i guess lobbying makes that difficult...

my pipe dream is, companies to be taxed base on all the pollution they generate in general (everything from how much excess plastic, cardboard they use in boxing/packaging to the sources of electricity they use (renewable or coal etc) to how much chemical waste they may make... no pollution, no tax!

(yes i know its unfeasible, but its a nice pipe dream)
