Recycling would be compulsory.
It blows my mind how much plastic one person can accumulate within a week. People should be held accountable for not recycling, as nobody has an excuse to not do it. I went to the slums in Mumbai a few years ago with Save the Children and one had 9 million people living in it. It’s next to the biggest rubbish tip in Asia and they can’t do anything about it. When you see it, you just think, My God, is it already too late? It’s a scary prospect.
There’d be a day that all religions celebrate together.
I’d call it a Multireligious Celebratory Day. It would involve capital cities having open days, cathedrals covered in Buddhist shrines and candles, or Buddhist temples having an altar with Jesus Christ on it, just mixing it all up. Religious disagreements cause so many problems in the world—if people could see that we’re all on the same track, the world would be a better place.
I’d eliminate animal enclosures.
