Environmental professionals work hard to save endangered species, restore wildlife habitats, clean up oil spills, conduct scientific research, develop and build clean energy technologies, and brainstorm ways to reduce the negative effects of global warming/climate change, destruction of forests and other natural areas, and toxic chemicals released during industrial processes. They work both indoors and outdoors. Careers in the environment are an excellent fit for those who like to conduct research and gather data, enjoy solving problems, and want to protect the environment. Environment is just one of 10 exciting titles in the Getting Started series. In this book, you'll learn about dozens of career options, typical education paths, ways to pay for training (e.g., scholarships, grants), methods of exploring the field while in school (e.g., summer camps, competitions, clubs, books, websites, tours, information interviews), and much more.
