While you're at it, fix everything else too.<p>I'm not being snarky, I mean it.  Bucky Fuller calculated that we could solve most of the world's problems for about $25B (this was in the 70's, so adjust for inflation and whatnot).<p>He was thinking big: houses built in factories (like cars) and delivered to the site by helicopter.  You could roll out a whole neighborhood in a week or two.  They had waterless toilets that captures BMs in little plastic bags, hyper-efficient "fog" showers.  ( Legend has it that the project was spiked because it would put too many electricians and carpenters and so on out of business. )<p>Or see his Old Man River's City project ( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_River%27s_City_project" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_River%27s_City_project</a> <a href="https://solutions.synearth.net/2002/11/24/" rel="nofollow">https://solutions.synearth.net/2002/11/24/</a> )  A city in a single building with ten million square feet of enclosed open space.  Add some applied ecology ("Permaculture") and you've got an arcology ( <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcology" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcology</a> ).<p>We have pretty much all the answers, the problem is to align our power with our values.
