Sorry to be a dampener but I don’t think there is a simple solution, and I also don’t think the government could single-handedly “solve” the problem by any particular action... As others have suggested there are so many things that need to change on so many levels…. I do think our society has become too individualistic and commercially motivated.
I think there is a need for a radical reconceptualisation
that we are all interdependent, and connected to the planet. More humanity and generosity and sharing and support. Less greed, materialism and commercialism. “Love thy neighbour as oneself”. A deep respect for all living beings, including animals, plants and our natural world. Communities for raising children, not just parents. Humans caring for one another irrespective of where they’ve come from or what they have. Pooling of resources. Collaboration not competition, sharing and gratitude and wonder. I know it’s a pipe dream but that’s my vision of the kind of world I’d like to see….
