Environmental Problems, Causes, and Solutions: An Open Question

In the national assessment of environmental literacy in Israel (Negev, Sagy, Garb, Salzberg, & Tal, 2008 Negev, M., Sagy, G., Garb, Y., Salzberg, A. and Tal, A.2008. In Israel Evaluation of Elementary School Students' Environmental Literacy, Environmental Education Journal, 39 (2): 3-20. [Taylor and Francis Online], [Web of Science®], [Google Scholar], the author contains multiple questions and unanswered questions In this paper, the authors explain the qualitative analysis of responses to general questions on local environmental problems Most participants make solid waste, open space, or air pollution a major issue Perceptual solutions are usually done at the government level, such as planning, infrastructure, legislation, and enforcement.The authors talk about relationships between problems, causes and responses between solutions, and the quality and Participant's general environment revision I will explain the relationship with Terasy.The author finally discusses the special contribution and possibility of free questions to environmental education research.

As with environmental problems to solve environmental problems, the initial work of environmental sociologists who are interested in solving these problems often involves interpretation and criticism of the main methods. In the early days of Heberlein (1974), the US tends to solve environmental problems through "technical restoration" or develop and apply new technologies to solve problems such as air pollution and water pollution It attracted attention. In countries with a history of technological progress, this solution is very popular. It is therefore attractive to avoid mandatory actions and changes in institutions. Unfortunately, as evidenced by attempts to solve energy shortages by nuclear power, solving problems with new technology can cause more problems.

Environmental scientists are people who solve problems. They are studying environmental and health problems in order to investigate the cause and propose solutions. They studied the mysterious deformation of the frog, the occurrence of a cancer of unknown cause in the neighborhood, or the illness of Libby in the town of Montana in the earlier asbestos mine. Environmental scientists conduct investigations to identify the cause of this sort of problem and how to minimize or eliminate it. They also conduct a theoretical study to deepen our understanding of how the natural world works. They use what they have learned to develop recommendations and strategies for managing environmental problems.

It is relatively easy to answer environmental sociology questions by describing what environmental sociologists do. We investigate the social causes of environmental problems, tackle political and economic interests on environmental conflicts, stress unfair exposure to pollution and stress reduction of natural resources, and assess the impact of environmental policy I will. There is nothing controversial here. But will this provide more satisfying definitions and guides for us?
