Biggest environmental problem?
That would be Republicans.
Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
Especially the dirty ones.
There is nothing wrong with Republicans...
As long as they stay away from the voting booth and keep their opinions to themselves.
I think all your answers are all tied together.
IMO.
Still, its a good thing to think about. I've been thinking about water a lot lately. Want to hear something crazy? Our building has "flush-free" urinals. Yes, we're going to talk about urinals. Anyway, each of them has a sign saying that the flush-free urinal saves 40,000 gallons of water each year. What??? That is like 100 gallons a day every day. I see that in California there is a government agency that is retrofitting ANY urinal with one of these Falcon water free urinals for FREE. Think how much water NC would save if every government building did this. That is 40,000 gallons times XXXX.
Plus, don't even get me started on composting toilets.

Well that was tough ...
They all have the potential to negatively impact many lives in either the short or long term. I guess it depends on how far into the future you want to look. Air/water pollution are hurting people now, but global warming could be a catastrophy in the coming decades. Water use is on everyone's mind in these days of drought.
I ranked air pollution #1 as Person Co. has 2 coal fired power plants that dump noxious fumes into the atmosphere. The Smokies are dying due in large part to fallout from midwest power plants. Also if we do something about air pollution now we gain on the GW front, and water quality will improve.

OK, let's see.
Loss of farm land and forest leads to more air pollution, and yet also affects water pollution as well as lack of water.
Lack of water leads to loss of farm land and forests.
Global warming is caused by many things including air pollution as well as it affects farm land and forests as well as lack of water.
Is this a trick question?
;-)
North Carolina. Turning the South Blue!
It is not a trick question.
I will give my opinion later. It is likely very different from most.
Same problem the rest of the US will face
Too many people for the land's carrying capacity.
