What Is Environmental Studies

Middle bury College became the first institution of higher education in united states to offer an environmental studies major,establishing the major in 1965.Environmental science is the study of the interaction within the biophysical environment.Part of this scientific discipline is the investigation of the effect of human activity on the environment.

Ecology,a sub-discipline of biology and a part of environmental science, is often mistaken as a study of human induced effects on the environment. Environmental studies is a broader academic discipline that is the systematic study of interaction of humans with their environment.It is a broad field of study that includes the natural environment and social environment.

Environmentalism is a broad social and philosophical movement that, in a large part, seeks to minimize or eliminate the effect of human activity on the biophysical environment. The issues of concern for environmentalists usually relate to the natural environment with the more important ones being climate change, species extinction,pollution and old growth forest loss.
