That's kinda like asking the environmental cost of driving 100 miles. Are you thinking of a big, dirty solid-fueled rocket, or an oxidizer-rich CH4/O2 rocket, or what?

Thinking of the number of rockets required to facilitate a “moon rush”.
"Moon rush" is far more a media hype phrase than an actual number of rockets launched, or tons of cargo landed, or lunar census.
And I'd bet that all the earth-bound activity involved in a "moon rush" - even one that actually resulted in a more-than-one-digit lunar census, long-term - would have a vastly larger environmental footprint than the rocket launches themselves.
