This document discusses the need for public awareness of science and the environment. It recommends joining environmental organizations, reading publications about nature, discussing issues with others, and participating in local conservation efforts. Raising public awareness is important because human lives depend on the environment, which provides resources, absorbs waste, and is being encroached upon by urban expansion. Increased public understanding of these interconnections can help protect natural systems for future generations.
