I think a lot of the ideas sound good on paper, but are very cloudy when it comes to actually implementing them.

RE: Citizens regulating pollution and stuff... how they would go about doing it, no idea, but on the flipside, I think it's much better than having that company shell out $$ to sway politicians into allowing them to pollute without consequence. At least.. you couldn't easily "buy" the public's consent to pollute.

[edit]
I interpret this as (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) a way to eliminate corporate/government corruption. These days it's WAY too easy to pay the govt in order to get what you want - and it happens ALL the time. For example, just look at the RIAA/MPAA with the INDUCE Act and surrounding controversy regarding P2P.
