1. Define Environmental Science.

Environmental science is defined as a branch of biology focused on the

study of the relationships of the natural world and the relationships between
organisms and their environments. An example of environmental science is the
study of the natural world and how it relates to recycling 

2. Cite examples of current environmental issues and ways to solve it.

Pass on paper
We are living in the Digital Era, but think about all the paper products you use in your
daily life. These actions still align with reusing and repurposing, though may take a little
more time for transition.
• Join a library instead of buying books or buy a Kindle
• Print as little as possible; and if you must, print on both sides
• Wrap gifts in fabric and tie with ribbon; both are reusable and prettier than
paper and sticky-tape
• Stop using paper towels and incorporate washable cloths
• Look at labels to make sure you only use FSC-certified wood and paper
product.
3. What is the significance of studying Environmental Science as a student?

Environmental science is important because it enables you to understand how

these relationships work. For example, humans breathe out carbon dioxide,
which plants need for photosynthesis. Plants, on the other hand, produce and
release oxygen to the atmosphere, which humans need for respiration.
