Environmental science is a multidisciplinary field that applies various natural sciences to solve environmental problems. It studies the interactions between living and non-living elements of the biosphere, including air, water, food, sunlight, and temperature. Environmental science also considers how human activities in areas like agriculture, industry, transportation, and technology can negatively impact ecosystems. As a result of increased environmental contamination, environmental science courses are growing rapidly at many universities to address these issues and make people more aware of how we are all connected to the environment.

Environment Essay
Environment or Habitat – the surroundings of the living species. Environment consists of both living and non-living things.
Living things - such as animals, plants, etc and non-living things such as land, soil, water etc.
Environmental science
Our environment consists of both natural and man-made elements that surround us. It includes living things like plants and animals as well as non-living things like oceans, soil and human structures. Environmental science seeks to understand our relationship with the natural world and find balanced solutions to problems in order to protect both the environment and human well-being. While human activities like agriculture, industry and population growth have degraded natural systems, environmental science can help limit impacts and maintain ecological functioning to achieve sustainability.
Save tree save earth
This document discusses the importance of trees and the benefits they provide. Trees are significant as they provide shelter, food, improve medical health, regulate temperature, and clean the environment. They are also important culturally. Trees provide various benefits depending on whether they are in rural, suburban, or urban environments, such as wind protection, erosion control, shade, and noise reduction. Deforestation has reduced forest coverage significantly and causes issues like increased carbon emissions. Ways to help save trees discussed are reducing paper consumption, banning deforestation, educating people, and planting more trees.
Intro. to Environmental Science

Impact of human activities on environment
Human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and pollution have significantly impacted the environment. Industrialization has increased CO2 levels through fossil fuel combustion and resource depletion. Population growth also contributes through increased fossil fuel and resource usage. This damages the environment through acid rain, loss of habitats, biodiversity decline, and ozone depletion. Pesticides like DDT have accumulated in ecosystems and endangered species through biological magnification. Water pollution from oil spills and other sources contaminates drinking water. The increasing greenhouse effect from rising CO2 levels is causing global warming and temperature increases.
The need to conserve natural resources
Natural resources are on the verge of depletion and should be conserved for the future. Lets have a look in detail about the hazards of the depleting natural resources and also how to conserve them.

Climate change power point
Scientists have warned that the world's climate is changing rapidly due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels. The warming climate is causing glaciers to melt and stronger storms to form. While climate has changed naturally in the past, current changes are occurring faster and are driven by human activity. The climate refers to long-term weather patterns over years in a given location, while weather describes short-term outdoor conditions. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat and maintain the Earth's warm temperature.

Tropical Rainforest
Tropical rainforests are located in warm, tropical regions that receive high amounts of rainfall each year. They are characterized by dense vegetation and nutrient-poor soil. Tropical rainforests differ from temperate rainforests in that they have a warmer climate and receive much greater rainfall. Remaining tropical rainforests are found in dark green areas on maps and are structured into several layers from tall canopy trees to lower shrubs. Tropical rainforests are important because they contain a high percentage of the world's biodiversity and produce a large amount of the earth's oxygen. However, they are being threatened by activities like slash-and-burn agriculture which leads to deforestation.
Current and emerging issues in the environment
Climate change is having widespread impacts globally and presenting new challenges for environmental organizations. Developing countries are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which include threats to human health from diseases, heat waves, and extreme weather; risks to social systems from issues like food and water insecurity; and economic impacts including damage to infrastructure and agriculture. Biodiversity is also at risk as climate change disrupts ecosystems. Concerted global action is needed to address this urgent issue, including efforts to reduce emissions, mobilize funding to help vulnerable nations mitigate and adapt to impacts, and enhance environmental monitoring to better inform policy responses to emerging problems.
Short stories
The story is about a group of monkeys who struggle to survive the cold winter nights in a dense forest. One night, they see a fire in the distance and all the monkeys gather around it to get warm. However, one old monkey warns them that the fire may belong to a human settlement and cautions them against getting too close. But the younger monkeys do not listen and start playing around the fire. Soon, the villagers notice the monkeys and start to chase them away with sticks and stones. All the monkeys hastily flee back to the forest, except one foolish monkey who tries to put the fire in his mouth to carry it back to the group. Of course, he burns his mouth and has to flee empty-handed. The

Scientific Article Rio Piedras & Guaralcanal stream vol3
The Water Cops PR CL project involves students exploring their local watershed to understand water flow and how human activities impact water quality. Students collected water quality data from two sites on the Rio Piedras river using sensors to measure temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, pH and stream flow. Analysis showed normal readings except for higher than expected turbidity and conductivity at one site. A second site on the Guaralcanal stream had elevated levels of nitrates and ammonium, likely due to agricultural runoff polluting the water. Creating a watershed model with GIS software allowed for spatial analysis of the data and identification of population densities near sampling areas.

Nature and scope
1) Environmental studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the interactions between humans and their natural and social surroundings. It has become increasingly important due to growing environmental issues like pollution, climate change, and depletion of natural resources.
2) The environment consists of both living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components that interact in complex ways. It includes the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Environmental studies considers the physical, biological, social, cultural, economic, and political factors that make up these systems.
3) Understanding our environment and the impacts of human activities is crucial for sustainable development and conservation of resources for future generations. Environmental studies aims to create awareness of environmental

ARTICLE ON ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
- 1. ENVIRONMENTALSCIENCE The word environment derived from French word “environ” means “to encircle” or “surround” in which organism or group of organisms live. This is literature point of view but according to me all the things we use in our daily life is environment either directly or indirectly. From morning to night whole day we use the things is related with environment just think once and you get that its all true. So the environment consists of living and non living substances. Scientifically we can say that the environment consists of biotic and abiotic substances, i.e. consists of air, water, food, sunlight, temperature, electricity etc. Since one can define the environment as, “it is the sum of all social, economical, biological, physical or chemical factors which constitute all surroundings of men or living organism, who is both creater and modular of this environment”. Environmental Science is the application of all fields of natural science towards solving environmental problems, its all about nature. Biology, Geology, Chemistry, Physics, Meteorology and many other disciplines are included in the environmental science. Mathemetics and Statistics and Computer Science also help in modeling and management of environment. The Environmental Science is, therefore, a multidisciplinary science, which may require attention of experts from different branches of science when decisions regarding environmental matters have to be taken. As we all know the craze of progress in agriculture, industry, transportation and technology is taken as the general criterionof development of any nation. But such kind of human activities created adverse effects on all living organisms or on all living properties of the biosphere. Today environment has become very unpleasant, contaminated and harmful for living organisms or so to say harmfull for all life providing things. So, Environmental Science courses at both the basic and advanced level are the most rapidally growing courses at many universities. And I think that this all issues of environmental is also related with all of us so no one can be run away from this since, Everyone should be aware of this
