It's probably not as much a technological challenge,as it is,getting those who currently profit from the way things are,to change for the greater good.
In order to pay retired kindergarten teachers their pension checks each month,pension fund managers currently invest in rapacious corporations whom continue to extract,deforest,pollute,emit carbon dioxide,etc.,not unlike cannibals whom consume their own former students in order to pay their domestic expenses and leisure activities.
