The Biggest Challenges

-

Over the past couple of I weeks I've been asking new followers what they perceive as the biggest challenges we face. There has been a spread of topics reflecting the diverse range of interests in the environment including:

  • Human stupidity/politics/corruption
  • Pollution
  • Water shortages
  • Food shortages
  • Floods & unpredictable weather
  • Global Warming
  • Population
  • Methane
  • Poor urban environments
Thanks to all of you who contributed, posts are below in acknowledgement.  If you would like to add your thoughts on the biggest challenges faced by humanity and planet earth, the please either tweet me @EcoWarriorMe or comment below.

In my opinion, there have been a couple of omissions so far: energy and poverty.  Are they too obvious, or not really that important?





Global warming, landfill toxins, water shortages, and Congress.



The biggest challenge is human stupidity. Man regularly makes horrible mistakes, from war to can't be bothered urban environments. Thanks ff


Sci&tech 2 use Earth's true potential available now, easily sustain 4X R 8 billion population. 1problem=unbridledcorpr8govmntcorruption!


Drought, unpredictable weather worldwide, disrupting global food supplies and economies; not just water, a range of ecological problems


Biggest challenge? convincing the politicians that the earth won't wait for them to stop pussy footing around about reducing co2 emisisons



 Simpaction 

 I think the biggest challenge we face is large scale water shortages as well as environmental degradation due to pollution, u?



mans greed and cruelty 2 of mine I ask 4 no quarter and expect none! Hoka Hey  


Good question. After climate change and peak oil? I'd say sustainability of food and farming...


Stormwater management... As storms become more erratic and unpredictable, America needs to understand the importance finding solutions.


too much methane


managing resources politely worldwide, cleaning our waters & ensuring polluting companies clean their environmental aftermath


Thanks for the follow. For answer, why not check out "an earth activist manifesto" on my action for the earth blog

    If I had to choose I'd say either denial or apathy...sadly.

    I don't believe in Apathy and even if it does exist, would I care? Hmmm. Good answers, thanks.
