They have to get past the sceptics who have watched trees being cut down, plastics being ground down and buried, or thrown into the sea, and how about nuclear waste?
Those are the "solutions" we have heard to date.
Ah, thank you.
I can certainly help there.
I agree about trees not being cut down, though if they are cut down for the use of good timber it would be acceptable if replacements were planted in similar numbers.
If plastics are not recyclable, and some are of course, they should indeed be ground down and buried, but not thrown in the sea. Plastic buried in the ground cannot be eaten by fish and can not harm anyone if buried sufficiently deeply.
Nuclear waste is also not a problem if disposed of correctly. As I understand it, the safest procedure is to vitrify the containers and bury them deep. Disused mine shafts cold be a good idea: very deep and locations well identified to avoid future intrusion.
