Environmental Science

Environmental Science is a Multidisciplinary Field that includes many scientific fields as well as field in the humanities, economics and political science. Some examples of different fields of study that can be used together to analyze our impact on the environment and the repercussions of modernization as well as how to make eco-friendly choices more accessible for all individuals and all nations regardless of socio-economic status or cultural differences. As you might imagine, this is, of course, is a monumental task. Environmental Science seeks to understand the complex problems that face our fragile ecosystems, while preserving or improving the way-of-life for humans as well as all organisms that we share this great planet with. Critical thinking skills must play a critical role in Environmental Science as these scientists strive to maintain objectivity and contemplate the issues at hand with respect and reverence to each facet that is involved.

I implore you to ponder the implications of the well-known poem by John Donne, pasted below with permission from

"No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee."

John Donne
