Answer:
Environmental education (EE) refers to organized efforts to teach how natural environments function, and particularly, how human beings can manage behavior and ecosystems to live sustainably. It is a multi-disciplinary field integrating disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, ecology, earth science, atmospheric science, mathematics, and geography. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) states that EE is vital in imparting an inherent respect for nature among society and in enhancing public environmental awareness. UNESCO emphasises the role of EE in safeguarding future global developments of societal quality of life (QOL), through the protection of the environment, eradication of poverty, minimization of inequalities and insurance of sustainable development (UNESCO, 2014a). The term often implies education within the school system, from primary to post-secondary. However, it sometimes includes all efforts to educate the public and other audiences, including print materials, websites, media campaigns, etc.. There are also ways that environmental education is taught outside the traditional classroom. Aquariums, zoos, parks, and nature centers all have ways of teaching the public about the environment.
Dear Ms. Kristina Arredondo,
I am searching for a position in Environmental Science.
I have a bachelor’s degree in environmental science from Brown Mackie College and my courses included geology, biology, hazardous-waste management and chemistry. While completing my internship, I gained extensive fieldwork and some laboratory experience. My experience also includes using computer modeling and digital mapping to determine the extent of pollution in any given area and to predict how it will change in the future.
I have extensive knowledge of conservation, degradation and replenishment along with the ability to conduct studies, compile findings and to create documents recording all of the information collected. I have strong analytical and observational skills with the ability to determine the source of any problem detected and to determine how harmful it is to the environment. This way, it can be handled in a timely manner according to priority.
I possess excellent communication skills with the ability to present information in person through presentations or in writing detailing the results of all studies. I also have good interpersonal skills and a friendly personality that encourages teamwork, which helps to make the team more productive.
I am physically fit and able to do the fieldwork and I have the ability to travel with short notice and to work long hours to meet tight deadlines. I also have plans to continue my education to receive my master’s degree and it is my desire to help preserve and protect the earth’s air and water supplies by helping to develop new, effective ways to reduce pollution.
Please call (555)-555-5555 to arrange an interview.

Yvette Murray
