Thoughts About Environmental Science

  I used to take environmental science freshman year of high school back in Florida. I can't really say I remember a lot of what we were taught. All we did was watch videos and take "pretty" notes. I am looking forward to learn about climate change and pollution. I would like to see some hands on activities. I am hoping to gain more knowledge through this course to one day put something into works that can help future generations and the climate. I believe this course will teach me about the different types of environments around the world, what their function is and how we as a community can help maintain it and not destroy it.
