I first, sadly, had to do some research to get my mind thinking about all of the environmental issues that we face today. There were a lot. I can say as of right now I dont know what my greatest concern is truly because I have not allowed myself to be exposed to all that is going on and the effects of whats happening to my world and how those effects are directly and indirectly affecting me. I know one thing that is big in my world is GMO and pesticides, usage and effects. Pesticides firstly, because last year I was sent to the ER due to what was found out to be an allergy attack to pesticides on a peach I had eaten. Since this I have been very much aware (at times felt like a slave) of the food I'm puting into my body because of the direct effects of whats put on our food. I think this also ties into my passion in political injustice and thats another reason why its my greatest environmental concern at this time. I dont think its fair, healthy or logical for the government to let things like GMO's and pesticides be consumed by people regardless of its profit, some things have no price because their value is beyond terms of money, like health and life.
