Well you can. You just have to make the things you don't like more expensive.
The problem is that US laws are written by the rich, and the rich don't care.
...so I guess there is a capitalist government, which doesn't work. But in theory a good government and otherwise capitalist society could work. But this sort of sounds like socialism with extra steps.
That is also patching a deep seeded problem - seing everything through monetary perspective. That will also stop working at some point.
I'm just saying that things like the Venus Project are the way to go if we wanna make a sustainable future. Combine that with socialisam and you can get a society that actually cares about humans, as well as everythin esle living on this earth. But, it has to be done on a global scale, while we're still divided in countries, that is not gonna work as well.
Alas, even if we don't do anything, the earth will be fine, no problem there, she's survived a lot worse than us. We are the ones thatbare fucked!
It is useful to have a common motivator. If you don't like something tax it, if you do like something subsidize/pay for it. I think that is one of the big questions to answer with other systems. If we remove money as a motivator (or at least greatly reduce its value) what will replace it? There will always be greedy people, even if most people can live comfortably. What will be used to motivate them to the common good?
Reeducation. Take back in moral values as real values, not something that is just admired on paper. Educate them from a very early age that if you prosper, everyone else prospers as well, if you work hard and everyone else works hard, the system works, if not, it doesn't. If you embed these values in people, they will grow, it just takes time.
The problem is, people unite and decide to change things only when faced with grave danger. By that point, it might already be too late... but, I guess we'll see what the future holds.
