Change the Economy to Stop Waste.

Basically our economy is designed to reward the people that create waste and we need to fix this before it's too late. 

- Right now if you were to create a product that will last a person a life time it would be profitable to find a way to make that product not last so long as you could sell many more. 

- Also if you control the resources to make parts for a product it would be more profitable if the company can not reuse these parts. 

- If you control the resource production for a material you may not want it to be recycled by the companies buying from you.

Changing this may also help with the poverty problem.

Here is a video that does an excellent outline of the effects our current economy and an alternative economy.
