Chapter one is the introduction to environmental science. We learn about how we can studying this science, biodiversity, ecosystem, and the rate of change in the environment and how that affects us.
Environmental Science is defined as the study of the interactions among human-dominated systems and how those interactions affect the environment. Environmental Science is a relatively new science that is just as or more important than the other sciences. If we didn't have Enviromental Science we wouldn't have a science to back up our understanding of what harm we, human beings, and doing to our environment. Enviromental gives us data to support the theory that we care affecting the natural ecosystem to an extent that it might never be the same

This paper has great ethos, it gives an example of what is to come if we do not care for our environment and people. The paper states, “Once the battle is lost...man can not wonder at nature; his spirit will wither and his sustenance be wasted” (Lyndon B. Johnson).
Jane Goodall, a primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist, explains that the greatest risk to our future is lacking enthusiasm and concern about its outcome. Considering Goodall is extremely environmentally keen, it is more than likely she is emphasizing this towards the future of the entire ecosystem, including plants and animals, rather than only the future of the human race. She explains that if the human race falls to a deficiency of caring about our environment, it can and will lead to a vast threat to the future of the world’s ecosystem. Often humans forget about the importance of the ecosystem and instead we become caught up in ourselves and our own individual needs. Goodall is stressing that if these egotistical human acts continue to occur, the future of our ecosystem is in jeopardy.
Once the environment is perceived as an equal part of an individual’s community, the human ethical spirit will respect the environment, cherish its benefits and beauty, and be obligated to preserve it.

By the end of the novel, it becomes evident that Oryx and Crake is entwined with significant social issues that help enrich and broaden the reader's understanding as they view the novel through the lens of the issue. Environmental issues is of great importance to the novel. Atwood’s overall argument about environmental issue present in Oryx and Crake has to do with human manipulation of nature. This is seen through genetic modification of animals to better suit our needs. ChickieNobs which were “Chicken parts” with “No eyes or beak or anything” (Atwood 78) is an example of humans using animals to benefit themselves.

As the result of my experience this semester I can conclude that this experience was a life changing experience. The way I viewed things in the past about the environment has changed. In the past I was not aware of the importance of living a more sustainable life. Also, how protecting our environment is one of the today’s most serious issues. Some of issues and information that I learned throughout this semester was the web life, food web, overpopulation, mutualism & commensalism, climate change, pollution, rainforest & sea destruction, and the extinction of many animals and plants.
