Environmental Studies? How would you define the term environment? How would you define Environmental Studies? What experiences have you had with the environment? How does the environment impact you? Journal #3

What is Environmental Studies? Environmental studies utilizes knowledge from the sciences & social sciences Integrates knowledge from: biology (ecology), chemistry, meteorology, physics, geography, math, engineering, history, economics, business, ethics, political science and much more!

Environmental Studies But . . . Environmental Studies doesn’t belong to any one discipline It represents all disciplines (to some degree) So it is truly . . . interdisciplinary and inclusive

Environmental Studies and Sciences Seek to explain environmental problems Examines the human impacts & develops alternative solutions Both are, fundamentally, problem-solving approaches and seek to find sustainable solutions (Source: Peter Raven, Environment)

Challenges we face . . . HIPPO Toxic wastes degraded ecosystems Loss of species Development

But with every challenge comes opportunity. Think about how our society has integrated environmental responsibility: Recycling Species protection Pollution prevention Land use planning Environmental protection Environmental education Renewable energy Sustainable solutions Community involvement
