Environmental science is becoming an interesting and one of the most sought after careers because of the increase in awareness about the clean environment.

Environmental science professionals are involved in the study of changes in the earth's atmosphere. They work on subjects like pollution control and mitigation, understanding of earth processes, effects of global climate change, evaluating alternative energy systems, natural resource management etc.

Their major objective is to find new ways to improve and conserve the standard of living by examining the circumstances of the environment, recognizing the impact of human actions on earthly and aquatic ecosystems, and developing strategies for restoring ecosystems.
