Even though Swift is not suggesting that the rich people in Ireland start eating the babies of the poor, he is still suggesting some realistic solutions. Most of all he is pointing out that the rich need to start doing something to balance out the economy and support the lower classes, instead of treating them like cattle. Comparing them to cattle by suggesting they eat babies points out this flaw of society and that it needs to be changed.
I can answer you only 2 of these questions
A few other ways to reduce pollution could be to reduce the use of single-used plastics like water bottles, straws and utensils. To recycle properly, as it helps keeps plastic out of the ocean.
Organizing Cleanup campaigns and spreading the word, for example to help remove plastic from a local beach.
To support bans, or the adoption of them in your community. There's many municipalities where there's plastic bags bans or straw bans for example.
We should avoid products containing microbeads (tiny plastic particles), we can find them on face scrubs, toothpastes and bodywashes.
Lastly, we could definitely support organization that address these situations such as Oceanic Society, 5 Gyres, Algalita, etc
Hope this helps!
