Environmental Science

Environmental science is the study of the environment (air, water, soil, organisms) and the solution to environmental challenges, for example, human activities. Although environmental science is common knowledge today, it was not a field of study until the 1960’s. Around this time, environmental science presented few issues in comparison to the many we face today. In the last few decades, humans have made damaging effects on the environment, like the ozone layer and global warming. Also the earth has become polluted, not only on the inside, but on the outside too. So you see, this has become a problem, but there are many solutions to address these problems. Either we address the issues concerning our planet, or have earth become the real

According to UC Santa Barbara, ecology includes not only how living things interact with each other, but also how they interact with their physical environment; things such as climate, water, and soil. However, ecology is just one of the specific studies of environmental science. Simply stated, ecology studies the interaction between organisms and their environment.

Almost everything in the world has a business opportunity, and similarly it is with the field of environmental science. By making it an actual field of study, colleges are making more money with student enrollment and in society more job opportunities are being created. Also, businesses and individuals that invest in things such as a recycling plant or a company that sells solar panels are additional ways of making environmental science a business

However, in environmental terms, mitigation is a project or a program that is intended to offset known impacts to an existing historic or natural resource such as a stream, wetland, endangered species, archeological site or historic structure. According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki, environmental mitigation is typically a part of an environmental crediting system established by governing bodies which involves allocating debits and credits. Debits and credits are given in situations where a natural resource has deemed to have been destroyed or improved. Debits occur in situations where a natural resource has been destroyed or severely impaired. Credits are given in situations where a natural resource has been deemed to be improved or preserved. Therefore, when an entity such as a business or an individual has a "debit" they are required to purchase a "credit". In some cases credits are bought from "mitigation banks" which are large mitigation projects established to provide credit to multiple parties in advance of development when such compensation cannot be achieved at the development site or is not seen as beneficial to the environment. Crediting systems can allow credit to be generated in different ways. For example, in the United States, projects are valued based on what the intentions of the project are which may be to restore, create, enhance, or preserve a natural
