ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology

So you know how we all live on a big planet called Earth, right? And it's our home, where we live, where plants grow and animals live. But sometimes, the things people do can hurt our planet, like throwing their waste on the ground or polluting the air with chemicals.

That's where the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) comes in. They are a group of people who study how we can take better care of our planet, so it can be a healthy and happy place for us to live.

They do lots of different things, like researching how to make cleaner air, water, and soil, and designing new technologies that can help us do that. They also create guidelines and standards that people and companies can follow to be kinder to the environment.

So the IEST is kind of like a superhero team, but instead of flying around and saving people from danger, they work hard to help our planet stay healthy and safe. And that's a really important job!
