Trying to solve problems, not just talk about them

Larry Schwartz has listed countries which have addressed some of the problems we have been talking about for years:

1. Peru: free solar-powered electricity for the poor
2. Iceland: white-collar criminals go to jail
3. France: stop throwing away food
4. Sweden: the six-hour workday
5. Portugal: decriminalize drugs
6. Ireland: drug addiction is a health issue.
7. Japan: make children self-sufficient
8. Sweden (again!): we are all feminists
9. Israel: water can be managed
10. England: Domestic abuse isn’t always physical.
