There is a major invasive plant problem in the U.S., and the country is being overrun. This is an important reason why nowadays there are many fewer insects, birds, lizards, amphibians, and so on. It is an accumulated Silent Spring.
Suggestion:
Create an Environment Conservation Corps. Make America Beautiful again by rebuilding the environment. Build a road or a bridge, and depreciation starts Day One. Restore a forested wetland, and the value appreciates year by year.
The creation of a Corps would also help with youth training and employment. For example, this could be incorporated into a type of national service. In addition, this could be an opportunity to train the general workforce to mitigate employment disruptions caused by advances in AI and other types of technological economic innovation. There are centuries’ worth of work to do and undo, so this represents a significant work-creation endeavor. Moreover, this work can be done locally nearly everywhere on the planet because of the accumulated man-made destruction.
