Fifty-One Years Ago....I was in high school and had a marvelous science teacher. He got us so hyped about helping the earth that we spent many projects doing just that on weekends. I have been an ardent "365 1/4 Earth Day Warrior" since. (it's what the teacher called us as he hoped we practiced it every day)

It takes a long time to slow down and turn a speeding Ocean Liner or stop a speeding Train as that is what he compared our future task to. I have found this to be true, I have seen both Politicians and Corporations dig their feet in and resist changing. The most recent example being the Trump Administration and the Auto/Oil Industries. But I have also seen great strides toward a solution. The most recent example is the Biden Administration and the Auto/Oil Industries. Do we see a coloration here between Corporate America and Politics? If you don't you're as blind as a bat to the situation.
We need politicians in D.C. that truly want America to be as good as we know it can be! We need politicians that will work together, not against one another. The "Good ole Boy" politics of "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" between Washington and Corporations needs to stop if we are going to turn the Climate Crisis Steam Ship around sooner than later. Later being "Sorry folks, you are all going to die, but if you can afford a trip to Mars you can still be alive there." (off world is going to be the only hospitable place left for us)
This kind of thinking has damaged our country for generations and it only gets a small reprieve when Republican politicians are not in office. I say small because it is undone as soon as the Democrats are edged out once again.
What we need is to reform, reform the way the common people think about everything from what they buy to whom they vote for. It's a big task, but we, America, can do it.
