Harvesting the Solar System's energy and material resources, taking stuff from comets, Nitrogen in the atmosphere of Venus, four times the amount of nitrogen on Earth. Mars has challenges for mitigating solar radiation and retaining a new atmosphere. The long term planetary engineering project SF6, Nitrous oxide N2O, Tetrafluoromethane, Nitrogen trifluoride NF3, Water Vapor, CO2. A planet-wide artificial magnetosphere would be helpful in resolving the atmosphere escape issue. Some political radicals say Terraforming is almost a sin, it raises moral questions, journalists like Thomas Cortellesi and IF Mars has life the Green radical could argue side effects of terraforming include the potential displacement or destruction of indigenous life, even if microbial, if we can Terraform then its possible we could easily preserve parts of old Mars in some microbe zoo to keep them happy?
Orbiting mirror sails could used to re-direct energy back to Mars or other worlds like Titan or the Asteroids could also be a good source for Greenhouse Gas Production Molecules.
Terraforming Mars Into a Habitable Planet is Possible

Green has offered a way of terraforming the Red Planet by making a giant magnetic shield between Mars and the Sun.
He said that this would prevent solar winds from stripping off the planet's atmosphere to trap more heat and warm its climate enough to become habitable for humans and plants to survive.

'Carbon emissions from space launches are dwarfed by other sources of greenhouse gasses, but they could have an outsized impact on climate.'

SpaceX are planning on transforming global cargo delivery. To do that and fit within Musk's environmental concerns, it'll need to be based on CH4 made from the air itself. A purely solar-powered fuel-cycle will make SpaceX's operations greener than any competitor. So there *will* be an environmental impact, just not the one usually imagined.
