what are some environmental issues right now today?
what are some environmental issues right now that i should be aware of?
The Expert answers:
GM, or genetically modified foods. There’s a lot of controversy over whether consumers should be informed that they’re eating genetically modified crops.
Suburban waste is also a big issue. Many households in America dump illegally, more so then corporations because they send things to the landfill that don’t belong there, such as unused pesticides, electronic waste, biohazards (used needles, old medications) and recyclable materials. This poses a risk both to waste management workers and to the environment around landfills.
“Green Living” is another chic thing today. Buying organic, being energy-efficient, recycling, and other “environmentally helpful” things.
Not to mention the “terrors” of global warming, depletion of resources, and overpopulation that have haunted the environmental scene since the 1800s.
What’s coming up? Probably the “micro-community” or the idea of buying locally-produced products. Also, “carbon credits.”

Sandra asks…
Does the lack of attention to environmental issues by today’s churches disgust you?
The Expert answers:
Yes. Very, very much.
Imagine how much money they waste every week too, with their sound systems, all those lights, pumping the building with heating or a/c, not to mention that they basically teach people to forget about taking care of our environment, the end of the world is coming, so why should they care.
I really wish common sense was more common…
Donald asks…
What are the top 5 environmental Issues?
What do you think are the 5 most critical environmental issues today? and out of the 5 which one do you think is the greatest problem?
The Expert answers:
I believe the top 5 environmental issues facing this world today are (in no particular order) Climate change, depletion of water, the improper use and distribution of natural resources(ie. Oil), the growing population which will strain world wide food supplies to the extreme, and the need of correct use of the land we have. Out of these 5 I believe the greatest problem is and will be for a very long time is the raging decrease of fresh water. We are wasting water at an astonishing rate and with less than 2% of all the water on earth readibly available for our usage, a world wide policy andf plan must be layed down
