Solar farms and panels are great and all, in the right locations,but there are far to many places where they are simply too inefficient. In addition we need to make things like recycling easier. One of the reasons people don;t is partially because it is simply way to easy to throw things out. Many places do not have recycling bins and the such. Further, it would be nice if we had bins for compost, where people can throw away food. I do not know the regulations on restaurants giving away unused food at the end of the day, but it would be nice if we could incentivize them giving it to various shelters.
What we should do (and should have done decades ago) is ban the construction or expansion of fossil fuel power plants. Then the worse polluting ones would be converted to nuclear, as rapidly as possible until none are left.
Also ban the importation of internal combustion engines, to encourage a switch to electric.
