So a little less then half of the world is currently willing to admit to our mistakes and attempt to fix the issues. How are we to convince the other slightly larger half to do their part?

Other way around. More than half the world is willing to admit it, but those that do have already taken steps to improve it, so the (slightly) smaller group is having a (slightly) bigger impact.

There's a plastic bag ordinance in Los Angeles too, but what ends up happening is that grocery stores sell reusable bags for cheap that just get thrown away anyway, so instead of having flimsy biodegradeable bags in the landfill, you've got heavier, sturdier bags. :/

And I DO live pretty close to the San Andreas fault. >.>;
