You are right that we COULD do many of these things. But we won't. We live in a society of people who deny there is even a problem. Anyone who knows it's either powerless or looking to profit.
Humans work on crisis management. We ignore a problem until it bites us in the face. Then we band together and defeat it. Unfortunately, when a problem exists that can't be corrected by the time it bites us, no banding together will stop it.
Taking back our power is necessary and urgent, especially here in the US. Apathy is the recipe for our suffering. We can raise awareness so the problems we face don't bite us. Your disbelief is valid, but I am holding out hope that things will quickly start making sense.
