The things listed above damage and harm the environment. For example, groundwater contamination lessens the availability for drinking water. Everyone wants to get rid of the waste, but nobody wants to take the waste. We must recycle more and conserve our resources. Good: Easy conversion, lessens weight, and resource recovery.?Bad: Air and odor pollutant, wastes energy and resources.

Environmental Science- the study of how humans interact with the living and nonliving parts of their environment. It includes ideas from the natural sciences, social sciences, political science, and humanities. The 3 goals of environmental science are to learn how nature works, understand how we interact with the environment, and to find ways to deal with environmental problems and live more sustainably.
