the primary approach, imo, should be to dramatically reduce consumption, especially of non-essential goods created industrially. reduced population, as mentioned above, would help substantially.

changing the way products are packaged could be another huge win. related to that would be to reduce/eliminate long distance shipping of products (shipping and other logistics often drive the requirements for packaging, aside from theft prevention).

mushrooms. not necessarily psychedelic. years ago some dude did an experiment where he cultivated mushrooms on top of huge trash dump heaps. in some relatively short timeframe (more than a year i'm sure, but less than 10), those heaps were brimming with life. shrooms have serious cleansing and filtering attributes.

best option of all: leave civilization and mass society to the dustbin of history.
