Environmental issues are some of the most important challenges facing the planet today. As our human population grows and technology advances, pressure increases on earth?s natural systems. We struggle with:
- air, water and soil pollution
- global warming
- diminishing natural resources
- waste disposal
- climate change
- deforestation
- ecosystem and wildlife extinction
Metropolises like New York face unique problems. High population density and greenhouse gas emissions contribute to large scale pollution and sometimes illness. This is especially true in our home borough of The Bronx.
