As environmental issues continue society must think about how we can reduce the emissions of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are the base of plastics, which are used for computers, TVs, energy, mining, agriculture, transportation and more. We need fossil fuels to continue with all of our activities and one way we can keep them around is by reducing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

In order to make a lasting impact, there needs to be action—and these actions are a strong foundation of the Bachelor in Environmental Sciences for Sustainability. We’re working on creating solutions that can compensate for our need for fossil fuels and carbon removal.
