Hello Basil,

These are some of the many topics that are studied in the field of environmental science. Overall, environmental science is the field of science that studies the interactions of the physical, chemical, and biological components of the environment and also the relationships and effects of these components with the organisms in the environment. The field of environmental science can be divided into three main goals, which are to learn how the natural world works, to understand how we as humans interact with the environment, and also to determine how we affect the environment. The third goal of determining how humans affect the environment also includes finding ways to deal with these effects on the environment.


GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming, the phenomenon of increasing average air temperatures near the surface of Earth over the past one to two centuries. Climate scientists have since the mid-20th century gathered detailed observations of various weather phenomena (such as temperatures, precipitation, and storms) and of related influences on climate (such as ocean currents and the atmosphere’s chemical composition). These data indicate that Earth’s climate has changed over almost every conceivable timescale since the beginning of geologic time and that the influence of human activities since at least the beginning of the Industrial Revolution has been deeply woven into the very fabric of climate change.

WAYS TO STOP POLLUTION

  • Use Environmentally Safe Products.
  • Recycle Your Used Motor Oil and Filters.
  • Compost Yard Trimmings.
  • Report Illegal Dumping.
  • Pick Up After Your Pets.
  • Dispose of Trash Properly.
  • Use Water Based Paints.
  • Recycle Everything You Can

WHY PLASTIC IS BAD

Chlorinated plastic can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources and also the ecosystem. This can cause serious harm to the species that drink the water. Landfill areas contain many different types of plastics.Sorry I left this part.

EVS is about our nature, the issues it faces and how to solve it. Global warming is a increase in temperature of the world due to ozone layer depletion. There is no ideal way to stop Pollution. But we can reduce it by various methods. Plastics are non decomposable so this they are hazardous to our world.
