Companies that make disposable items need to be responsible for post-consumer (waste) managment of their product. For example, on St. Kitts there are several plastic bottle manufacturers, including Coca Cola, and not one of them takes responsibility for the environmental consequences. If corporations like Coca Cola want to build factories, they need to support recycling, reducing, and reusing of the products made at those factories. Governments should pass laws requiring this. We need to make big polluters take responsibility for the big problems they create and leave citizens to handle.
The government needs to support adoption. Currently, adopting children can be difficult & expensive (especially considering the alternative :) Our governments need to provide monetary incentives for adopting, as well as training and on-going support for adoptive and foster care families. Everyone birthing children is no longer sustainable.
