Environmental Sciences is the study of how natural systems function and how human activities influence these systems, using insights from a range of scientific disciplines such as biology, geology, and chemistry. By examining global issues like pollution, climate change, and resource depletion, the field prepares individuals to solve complex environmental problems. This discipline is ideal for those passionate about protecting the planet or promoting sustainability through a rigorous scientific approach.
