I cannot speak for other countries, but I can speak for my own, the USA. I DO NOT think we do enough to conserve the environment. The current president has continuously rolled back the EPA until it's a fucking joke. We make at least 20% of the world's waste, when we have 4% of the population. And I am not pulling that number out of my ass either. I learned it in school after studying the numbers in statistics class. So don't tell me the American governement is doing a good job on that front. We have had the good fortune over the past century to have some of the best scientists in the US (albeit some of that because of WW2) developing some of the best modern technologies, but America needs to wake up and realize that we are destroying far more than we conserve. It is a hard switchover indeed coming from a western country, when your lifestyle dictates for the last several decades are mostly wasteful, but strong changes must be begun.

I DO NOT agree with you Dug. And that is that.
