3. We could fix that by quitting factory farm meat and dairy products, and fuel ethanol.

Instead of subsidizing these things we should be buying out farmers who support these industries so we can restore the land to something approaching it's natural state.

We wouldn't even have to kick the farmers out of their homes, just tell them to be good stewards for the trees, prairie, bison, wolves, etc.. Pay them to plant trees, restore wetlands, etc.

Oh, I can dream...

Monoculture is an environmental disaster. Our nation is covered by vast wastelands of corn, wheat, and soybeans which are used to make unhealthy foods like bacon and high fructose corn syrup, or to make fuel for dirty dangerous automobiles.

Humans can be worse than nuclear fallout. Some humans will kill every good thing they claim their god created. If I were their god I'd be angry.
