If it were up to you, what are your top five...?

Question

Just out of curiosity. I am looking for well thought out, reasonable responses. 

The whole world is looking at you, giving you the go ahead - it's your choice of what to change. What are the top five environmental concerns you have that you would change NOW. You just get to pick them - all the same world concerns, financing, and politics still play in as they do today. But at least you can pick what we turn our attention on and is headlining the media everyday. Would the simplicity, or complexity, determine what's done now? Would it be funding that drives your choices? 

Keep in mind that you are also determining where the 'public concern' lies, so it does not determine  your answer. Just because it's popular in the media today doesn't make it YOUR main concern, does it?

My top five (without explanation, which I hope you'll give) are 1. Waste and resource management in our oceans 2. Finding an affordable, better source of transportation for individuals that does not use fossil fuels 3. Paving the way for more nuclear energy in the US now 4. Finding better, less wasteful sources of energy for tomorrow (i.e., replace nuclear with).

GO.

I agree with your choices almost spot on, although I wonder if your nuclear energy point includes heavy searching as to how to dispose of nuclear waste without adverse effects on the environment?  I think that nuclear energy is splendid and has so many outlets, but that is something that always comes up in my argument and I can never fight around!
I would replace your number two with a stronger effort of "civilizing" third world countries.  Providing sources for clean water and waste disposal, education demand, infrastructure, etc.
I think we definitely need to stop using fossil fuels as soon as possible, but it doesn't just end with transportation. The heating of homes and businesses also consumes a vast amount of fossil fuels, and we need an alternative for that.  
Additionally, I hope that 'resource management' in your first point includes the steep decline in fishing that I'd like to see happen in the near future.

It seems I've deviated from the question.  Alas, I don't care.  Cheerio

My top 5
1) Finding a source of energy that does not cause massive amounts of waste (yes electric cars make waste. Batteries only last so long)
2) Melting ice caps. We should build a HUGE space freezer.
3) The loss of the polar bear..... I think they would enjoy their freezer environment.
4) Ocean warming causing a loss in biodiversity. 
5) Why the US can't sign a damn agreement treaty that would be beneficial to the US in job production. The Kyoto protocol called, it said it wanted some commitment congress.
