Environmental science

Environmental science is the study of how people and other living things interact with their environment (which is everything around them - the air, water, land, animals, plants, and people). People who study environmental science look at the way pollution, climate change, natural disasters, and other factors affect the health of our environment and the living things around us. They look for ways to minimize damage to our environment so that it can stay healthy.
