Environmental management involves regulating environmental health through a systematic approach of finding practical ways to save resources and reduce impacts. It uses a variety of management practices across environmental issues ranging from local to global scales. The four phases of environmental management are recognizing and defining problems, formulating policies, implementing policies, and monitoring outcomes. The objectives of environmental management are to identify and solve environmental problems, restrict resource exploitation, control pollution, and optimize resource use through technology revisions and environmental laws.

5. Aspects of Environmental
management (OBJECTIVES)
 Identify environmental problems and its
solution
 Restrict and regulate the exploitation and
utilisation of natural resources
 Renew natural resources
 Control environmental pollution
 Optimum utilisation of resources
 Review and revise existing technology
 Formulate environmental laws

6. Five Fundamental Aspects
 Environmental perception and public
awareness
 Environmental education and training
 Resources management
 Control of environmental degradation and
pollution
 Environmental impact assessment

7. ENVIRONMENT EDUCATION/
STUDIES
Environmental studies is defined as “the
academic field which systematically
studies human interaction with the
environment. It is a broad
interdisciplinary field of study that
includes the natural environment, built
environment and the sets of relationships
between them. ”

9. CASE STUDY
A baby experienced a life-threatening rash &
asthma that her parents connected to lawn
pesticide application. Another baby in the
community had a life-threatening rash after
her apartment was sprayed for a bug
infestation. The parents, families, and
children came together and advocated to the
City Council to approve the Pesticide By-Law
that would ban the use of pesticides on lawns
and in garden care, and Halifax became the
first city to have such a ban.
