Document Summary
Our environment is more than just our surroundings. Environment is more than water, land, and air; it is the sum total of our surroundings. Humans exist within the environment and are a part of the interactions that characterize it. 1970 created first environment legislation, though people back in those days thought that it was connected to wilderness, but no, the term has broadened to link people in it too. Mandate of environment canada is equally comprehensive: to preserve and enhance the quality of canada"s natural environment, conserve our renewable resources, and protect our water resources. As a community we are constantly refining the knowledge of our environment (air,water,land) and our interaction to solve or unstand environmental problems. Environmental science explores interactions between humans and the physical and biological world. Environmental science is the study of how the natural world works, how our environment affect us, and how we affect our environment.
