Pollution is a serious one. Water pollution, air pollution, and then solid hazardous waste pollution. And then beyond that, we also have the resources issue. Not just water resources but other natural resources, the mining resources being consumed, and the destruction of our ecosystem.

Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.

There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table.

Food and the way we grow it and produce it are a major cause of environmental degradation.

Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever.

Fundamentally, if you look at where the environmental issues are coming from, it's all because of humans and our impact on the environment, so while it's true that one individual is not going to sufficiently fix the environment, it is a necessary thing.

Americans don't pay much attention to environmental issues, because they aren't sexy. I mean, cleaning up coal plants and reining in outlaw frackers is hugely important work, but it doesn't get anybody's pulse racing.

I can't imagine anything more important than air, water, soil, energy and biodiversity. These are the things that keep us alive.

The question of energy is an important one. The big issue is how to get it, how not to destroy the environment, and how to survive as a species. It's a big deal.

I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
