Environmental sociology

Environmental sociology is about how humans affect nature and how nature affects humans. It looks at how things like pollution, climate change, and different types of land use influence our lives. For example, environmental sociologists study how air pollution from factories affects our health, how deforestation is changing our climate, and how people living in different places use natural resources differently. They also study how people's values and beliefs shape their actions when it comes to the environment, like how different cultures view nature differently, and how some communities are more likely to participate in protecting the environment.
