environmental science, as well as associated subjects such as ethics, geography,
anthropology, policy, politics, urban-planning, law, economics, philosophy, sociology and social justice, planning, pollution control, and natural resource management. There are also many degree programs in Environmental Studies
including a Master’s degree and a Bachelor’s degree.
Environmental technology This field may include (envirotech), green technology
(greentech) or clean technology (cleantech) is the application of one or more of
environmental science, green chemistry, environmental monitoring and electronic devices to monitor, model and conserve the natural environment and
resources, and to curb the negative impacts of human involvement. The term is
also used to describe sustainable energy generation technologies such as photovoltaics, wind turbines, bioreactors, etc. Sustainable development is the core of
environmental technologies. The term environmental technologies is also used to
describe a class of electronic devices that can promote sustainable management of
resources.
Internet The Internet (portmanteau of interconnected network) is the global system
of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite
(TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of
private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global
scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking
technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and
services, such as the interlinked hypertext documents and applications of the
World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing.
