I think that the "is" should actually be "its" and that there is a word missing from your list.
 
Man is actually destroying its surroundings with the many kinds of ____ that it wastes. (??)
 
I would prefer: Man is actually destroying his surroundings with the many kinds of waste that he produces.

A: Man is destroying the environment with his greed and lack of conservation.

B:It is actually that man is destroying the surroundings with many kinds of wastes.


Waste should be singular here.

L Habach - your sentence is grammatically correct, and I think it �s the best option.
 
However I don �t think it really feels very natural.

Howabout:

Actually, it is man that is destroying the *surroundings* with many kinds of wastes
 
and
 
Actually, I cheated!   I googled L. habach�s suggestion and I found this and I am wondering if tommy�s exercise perhaps came from this because it has also has �wastes� in it.
 
Cheers
