And what do you think are some causes of that problem?What do you think is the most significant environmental problem in California?I think the major environmental issue involves the size of the population and the resource demands that the economic activities of the State place on the natural environment.That issue is manifested by the need for fresh water from ditant sources combined with the irregularities in changes in climate related to El Nino and Greenhouse caused climate changes due to car pollution.

I think Californians are pretty smart people and that they will be the First or second state (Vermont is the other one)to lead the rest of the states in getting right with the environment finding environmentally friendly sustainable ways of living on the West Coast. Californians are less adverse to change and you have the proposition system in polace to drive government to do the right things that make life better. I enjoyed the Q. Many of the trashy non-answers to your Q don't deserve the time of day. Ignore them or report the worst ones.
