When we sit in a science class, most of the time we are as bored as boredom can be. We don't really have the ability to explore on our own to find out what's really out there. Teachers are sometimes unable to delve into topics outside of the textbook because they are required to teach it year-round. This is why many kids don't really get into science because they are always attached to books. Some kids love science and don't really care about the work they have to do. Environmental science is much more than the book actually says. No one really understands what it takes to be an environmental scientist. Environmental science is a broad type of science. It can involve nature, animals, or anything in between. Some subsections may address pollution management, natural resources, or wildlife management. Furthermore, there are types of environmental protection programs such as scientific, behavioral, economic, and political. (apu.apus.edu) Most environmental scientists enter the scientific field, but there are some who enter for other reasons. The second most popular is behavioral. Taylor 2 Focuses primarily on a particular animal and behavior in its natural habitat. When someone wants to become an environmental scientist, they must first have a bachelor's degree in any natural science, this degree will allow you to enter the field. You can have any type of natural science such as: biology, chemistry or geoscience. If you want to advance in this particular job you may want to work towards getting a master's degree in any natural science, and you may also get a doctorate if you want to teach at a university or some research positions require this type of degree. Some, but not most, people have... middle of paper... conditions that promote life on Earth. In 1878, Alfred Russel Wallace independently theorized about natural selection and published Tropical Nature and Other Essays in which he warned of the dangers of deforestation and soil erosion. In 1936 Arthur G. Tansley coined the term ecosystem. In 1957, Roger Revelle and Charles Keeling discovered carbon dioxide as part of the International Geophysical Year. In 1974, F. Sherwood Rowland and Mario J. Molina discovered chemicals that deplete the atmospheric ozone layer (radford.edu). and-specialists.htm#tab-4 http://pubs.acs.org/journal/esthag http://www.hartwick.edu/academics/majors-and-minors/special-minors/environmental-science-and- policy-minor/what-is-environmental-sciencehttp://www.radford.edu/~wkovarik/envhist/majorEvents.science.html
