I think they are all important but if I had to pick it would be a toss up between water conservation (reducing water use, cleaning up our water sources, and eliminating water pollution as much as possible) and air pollution. The earth as a whole needs clean water and air. I think if we eliminate private campaign funding we can finally get some politicians in office that are actually going to represent the people instead of big corporations that lobby for the laws that allow them to easily get away with polluting the air and water.

Global warming. Unreduced global warming would cost enough money (moving people away from coasts, readjusting agriculture and building new irrigation systems, replacing stuff lost to coastal flooding) to cause a major economic depression. Global warming may not cause hurricanes, but the effects would be much like dealing with cleaning up after a thousand major hurricanes.
We can reduce it enough to cope with the remaining effects. Here's the plan (too long for here):

I don't believe in global warming. I live way back in the country and people dump their trash on my property which I have to clean up. Littering is a big issue with me,why can't people put a bag in their car to put their trash in and dispose of it when they get home

We need to learn to balance the environment and the economy. Without a strong economy, quality of life will suffer. Until now, we've focused more on the economy than the environment, and the environment suffered. I'm afraid if we're not careful, we'll allow the pendulum to swing too far the other way, and quality of life will suffer. We simply have to figure out the correct balance.

I did research before answering this question. Hope I never get bit. That is scarey; the thought of someone falling for that is unbelievable.
