LETTER: A few more suggestions to make our world a better place to live

Published 1:30 am Friday, June 9, 2017

The May 25 letter to Peninsula Voices, “Global concerns,” impressed me because it is good to see people thinking about how to make the world better.

Could I add some suggestions?

• Insulate homes and buildings to save cooling or heating energy.

• Develop electric transmission lines that retain more power and harden our grids to protect from cosmic and human harm.

• Control population so that the various nations can feed and care for their citizens.

• Reduce our wasteful lifestyles — reuse, recycle.

• Develop better water supplies with dams and better use of drip irrigation, small wells and more recycling.

• Help nations provide for their citizens’ food, shelter and medicine.

These modest improvements could help redirect our energy toward a better world.
