Some have been outlined elsewhere in this thread.

Louisiana 47th?
I've lived in and around New Orleans and Baton Rouge for over a half century and my environment is great! I've camped, hunted and fished most of the rest of the state and it's fine.
At what state ranking do I have to wear a clean suit to enter?! Do I just pull over at their welcome center and dress so as not to soil their sterile dust free environment?
No, cutting the canals may have speed up the process. But the costal erosion culprit was the levies along the Mississippi River. This prevents sediment from the natural flooding from restoring the marshes. I'd rather funnel all that landfill to the Gulf than have the River up to my rooftop every other year!
No, my family, pets, and I emit copious amounts of CO2 with every exhalation! Don't tell the EPA or I'll deny it!
Also, while much of the electricity we consume is nuclear derived, a substantial percentage just belches CO2 from gas and coal fired plants.
While CO2 confessing, we heat the house and water with natural gas. When not cooking on a gas stove, we use propane in copious amounts! We burn it to fry the fish I catch and to boil all the shellfish (crabs, crawfish, and shrimp) we love.
I must also confess that much of the game I kill and meat we buy is cooked on a charcoal grill. This results in noticeable CO2 and particulate release! When I crank up the charcoal smoker beaucoup particulates are released! But man it sure is good!
Finally, my family and I just get so happy, comfy, and cozy when our chimney pumps all that CO2 and particulates straight into the air you breath, from the unfiltered smoke stack of our fireplace!
Want to see real pollution, go to China and the former socialistic workers paradises.

Precisely how much quality of life are you willing to sacrifice to decrease industries that make our lives, in the scope of human history, so great and comfortable? You want to go back to the 1800s? 1700s? Further? Which comforts are you ready to give up? What will be our primary source of energy? Wood? Gotta cut down trees, so that's out. Coal? That's out of the question. Whaling? Nope, gotta kill whales. We can use horses & oxen for transportation, but I'm sure that's considered animal abuse. We've got ourselves a problem here....
I am totally on board with you on this and I use the same argument in defending Petro-Chem.
However, I have a Brother-in-Law who swears that Hemp Farms would fix all of our problems!
I know Hemp is very useful but can it create six-figure jobs for the operators?
I have been wondering just how useful Hemp could be in Manufacturing of ALL things we produce in the Petro-Chem Industry.
Anyone have any input?

What place do you take in spelling?

When most people in South Louisiana interact with environmental regulations, they're usually telling them that they cannot:
Dig a pond on their own property
Add dirt to their property so their house won't flood
Fish or harvest seafood where they want
Build a levee needed for flood protection
Build anything without being dragged through months and months of wading through permitting bureaucracy hell
All of south louisiana is considered "wetland" and the Army Corps of Engineers places huge regulatory burdens on property owners.
They don't think about air or water quality because they're people, not chemical plants, and they rely on those plants for jobs.
