Answer to your first question: We get locked into the business of dealing with waste / pollution, those doing well in it financially never want the waste / pollution to stop, even though everyone working for them, for pennies, because they have no choice, sees their jobs as "Bullshit Jobs"... we should call those kinds of businesses bullshit businesses, I would say, because if the source of waste disappeared, so would their businesses dealing with the waste.

For the same reason, it isn't clever to tax waste either, it seems to me.

The only good way to deal with waste is to exclusively use solar energy to get rid of it.

Industrial class furnaces driven directly by solar energy reflected at the target to be heated are routinely capable of reducing all waste to pure carbon, even gases.

I didn't understand your second question, any chance of rewording?

The complete picture of Kardashev Money is big, to see it, we have to understand that we are playing an unsustainable grand energy Ponzi, Earth is really just like a big battery, trickle charged by the sun over millions of years, and we have discharged it using the gearchain of money-as-debt, to the point that we should now realise our many trillions of global debt is actually an energy deficit to our planet, and the only way of paying it back down is by solar energy.

The energy discharged from Earth manifests as pollution.

Since we used money to discharge the battery, it makes sense that we charge it back up again using money, so we should monetise sunlight, just like we monetised oil, and energy from oil.

Solar power used to create cryptocurrency explicitly does that, but cryptocurrency technology is still in infancy, so still has a lot of teething problems, but there is no reason banks could not now begin to issue free money-as-sunlight, to reflect the solar energy received (Donated from the sun) and added to the battery of Earth, to begin reducing our debts.
