Environmental Studies

Environmental studies are about studying human interaction with the environment. It is a broad field of study which includes the natural environment and the built environment, and the relationships between them. I agree that environmental studies should be made a compulsory part of the science curriculum, as we should start from young in the saving of Earth. If we realise the consequences of global warming since young, we can go green earlier too.

Firstly, environmental studies can help to teach students about global warming, both the consequences and the solutions. Students will be more aware about global warming and they can even start to go green from a young age. When they grow up they will know even more what they can do to save the Earth. The students, knowing the consequences and solutions of global warming, may be motivated to save the Earth and also motivate other people to save it. There will be a chain reaction and soon there will be many people trying to save the Earth by going green. We can also think up of better solutions to aid in saving the Earth, thus contributing even more.

Secondly, environmental studies can help students develop good habits that can help to save the Earth by conserving energy. The habits may develop after the students decide to save the Earth. The habits include turning off electrical appliances when not in use, taking a shower instead of a bath and walking or cycling to a place instead of riding a car there. The good habits may even follow someone for life.

Thirdly, environmental studies can develop students into more responsible people. They will be instilled with the sense of responsibility to save the Earth from global warming, and will do their part to help. The sense of responsibility may not only be only for saving the Earth, but rather, it can be extended to other parts of their lives too.

In conclusion, I agree that environmental studies should be made mandatory in the science curriculum as there are many advantages of this. Everyone should also start from young in saving the Earth.
