Enviro Science quick and easy, Day #7--taking science by storm

Though environmental science is not a class required by most schools, elements of the class are taught in most curricula. And, technology elements and applications are actually spun from this science. Therefore, it makes sense to use technology to study the science in order to improve other technological advancements.

Here's a quick run-down of some of the best environmental science applications and resources:
