What things do you want to see in a TL?

Ferals plants and animals that were introduced to various areas post 1900 could be stopped. Some terrible irrigation schemes which have caused salinity and other giant problems could be done way better. Deforrestation could be reduced, perhaps with hemp cultivation for pulp and fibres. Agriculture, mining and industry could be made cleaner. The transport systems could be done on the most efficient model rather than just slapping up whatever is popular.

Is that enough to get started?
 
Here's one: A surviving population of thylacines. That would make me read anything, even if it was shitty.

New Zealand is probably a bit too inconspicuous but I've always liked the idea of either a tunnel or a superbridge connecting the North and South Island. In fact, New Zealand being important at all (if your looking for environmental stuff, New Zealand's protection of its native flora and fauna is more enforced than anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere if my knowledge is up to date).
 
Greater American involvement in the Chinese Civil War, allowing for a possibly balkanized China or unified China under the Nationalists?

Perhaps a large investment into the space program, allowing for a lunar colony by the 1990s and possibly a human stepping on Mars?
 
Anglo-German Alliance. Ottomans and Austria-Hungury must be part of the Anglo-German Alliance.
 
Since colonisation cannot be stopped anymore, how about a sane, step-by-step decolonisation of Africa?

Maybe have an Anglo-German alliance that releases their respective African colonies into independence over say two or three generations? Which triggers a similar development in French/Portuguese/Italian/Belgian... - colonies?

Thusly creating a more stable, peaceful and prosperous Africa.
 
An Ottoman Empire that extends 1914 borders. A small chunk of the Balkans, at least partial, nominal or at least de facto control of Egypt and retaining Libya.
