The environmental sciences in Puerto Rico
by Ruiz Buehl, Lydia Marie, M.S., UNIVERSIDAD DEL TURABO (PUERTO RICO), 2007, 199 pages; 1451038

Abstract:

Our Planet Earth is deteriorating rapidly, not only by natural events but also because of human activities. The irresponsible and uncontrolled use of our natural resources has caused serious damage to our planet and puts every form of life in danger.

The purpose of this work is to compile and organize general and current information about factors that constitute our environment and how to manage our natural resources in a responsible and sustainable manner without negatively affecting the quality of our environment.

In each chapter presented, Introducción a las Ciencias Ambientales en Puerto Rico, Nuestro Aire, El Agua, nuestro más preciado recurso, Nuestro Suelo, Desperdicios Sólidos, Microbiología Ambiental y Leyes Ambientales, I encourage our students to feel that this is their planet and their responsibility through education so they can acquire the necessary knowledge that will make them to lead value and protect our environment.
