Environmental science Environmental science is important in different aspects such as: scientific, social, political and ethical (Lesson, Gan). Understanding the earth's process with alternative energy systems and its effects of global climate change are part of environmental science. I can't stress enough how important it is to learn and be aware of recurring problems in our environment. If people are not aware of our environmental problems, it will be more difficult to solve them and our existence may end. Nowadays there is technology that is environmentally friendly and can help our planet. Many people are unaware of the damage to the atmosphere, but some is irreparable.
