3 What is Environmental Science? An interdisciplinary approach to studying environmental problems relevant to everyday life:

4 How does ENVS differ from Earth Sciences, Chemistry, or Ecology & Diversity????

5 Why study Environmental Science? Third runway's sky-high emissions SCMP, August 2014 Pay-as-you-throw rubbish scheme could cost Hong Kong households HK$44 a month SCMP, August 2014 Increasing food imports will ease water and energy shortages, environment official says SCMP, July 2014 Ozone pollution in Hong Kong at worst level in a decade: environmental report SCMP, July 2014 Hong Kong's heating up, and it's not global warming SCMP, June 2014 Funding request for HK$18b Shek Kwu Chau incinerator gets go-ahead SCMP, May 2014

6 Why study Environmental Science?

7 Why study ENVS in Hong Kong?

8 Why study ENVS in China?

9 Climate change skeptics might not like to admit it, but Asia is embracing environmentally-friendly technologies. - BBC, March 2011

10 What does an Environmental Scientist do? Collect environmental data Analyze data Report scientific and technical information Process and review environmental permits & licenses Review environmental policies Advise companies on environmental practice

11 Air pollution How could an environmental scientist help? Scientific research study the causes of pollution develop methods to deal with pollution introduce new technologies to reduce pollution Management, Policy, & Law taxation to reduce the use of fossil fuel financial incentives (clean energy) regulations (EIA)

12 Career Prospects U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) - Environmental Science jobs will grow by 25% in the next decade! * Environmental consultant * Education/outreach * Financial analyst * Environmental chemist * Environmental laboratories * Conservation Organization * Environmental professional * Alternative technology * Academic research * Planning
