Global Warming!
It does put fear into ones heart, especially when you see all the destruction around the world,tsunamis,earthquakes,hurricanes, weird weather patterns etc.
I for one am not an environmentalist,but I love nature and would love to have a forest to walk through with my children, the ocean and beautiful beaches for my descendants to play in and around, mountains for the next generaion to wonder about.
I also believe when my religion states that all things on this earth is only for a period and that they will be gone when their time comes.We were supposed to be caretakers and not to feed our greed as we went about the earth making our homes and living our lives, but we have been careless and sort of broken the cycle of life by eliminating some species to satisfy our own desires, without a thought of the BIG picture of the whole globe being one.
I also believe that disasters are signs from the Almighty,so that we may not forget His existence and also reminders for those who believe to work better for the Hereafter.
Quran Chapter 67 verses 15-17
"He it is, Who has made the earth subservient to you (i.e. easy for you to walk, to live and to do agriculture on it, etc.), so walk in the path thereof and eat of His provision, and to Him will be the Resurrection.
Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allâh), will not cause the earth to sink with you, then behold it shakes (as in an earthquake)?
Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allâh), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning?"

I also believe scientific research that says earth is an ageing planet...

I am also a believer of forests taking years to grow into what they are today and even if we start planting today, its effects will only show years and years later.

But I also believe that we could do the little things to help make our little environment more healthy by planting a few plants around our homes, by not wasting water unnecessarily,by switching off electric equipment when not in use,by helping recycle what we can,by keeping our environment clean(imagine each one doing little things like this to make their own homes environment friendly, it goes a long way in helping,especially making our children aware of such things).
