Even waterproof containers need to be able to break down to bio friendly matter within five years. Containers for long term storage would be a separate matter, and could use non degradable materials. But straws, coffe lids, soda bottles, sandwich bags, to go containers, plastic cutlery, product presentation materials......it all needs to be biodegradable.

Death taxes. You should be able to earn as much as you want with fairly minimal income taxes. However, you should only be able to leave say 10 million per dependent, all the rest should go to healthcare/education etc. I think this might be the best way to reduce wealth inequality without penalizing people for being productive. Inherited wealth doesn't do society OR those who inherit massive unearned fortunes good in the long run imo.

I would make cold calling illegal. Any company wanting to reach out to clients and customers have to get their permission and ensure they are certain they want to be contacted for any studies and sales calls. This would be a win-win for both sides. (Canada is getting close to this. A law or regulation just got passed regarding caller ID screening and transparency.)

All convicted sex and child predators would have very long prison sentences and must be proven to be rehabilitated and not pose a threat before being released. This is such a huge problem in my city.
I would also make it law the justice system must provide supports and counselling services for victims, as well as protective resources if need be or wanted.

Anyone who claims something is protected by the constitution has to show where and how. Brown vs Board of Education showed that separate but equal violates the constitution. If you can't spout Gibbons v. Ogden and show that the COVID requirement is "“arbitrary, oppressive and unreasonable" shut the F$%k up and get your shot. Don't claim rights you don't have and don't take others away because you don't know better.
