The human population on Earth is now more than 6 billion, and still growing. With more and more of us living an energy-intensive, modern lifestyle, the environmental stresses from human activity continue to increase. Greenhouse gases leading to global warming and fertilizer run-off resulting in marine "dead zones" are just two examples of large-scale environmental impacts from human activity. For tackling big problems like these, we'll need people who can understand complex ecosystems, and who can apply that knowledge to satisfy human needs in sustainable ways—people like environmental engineers.
