What does a Environmentalist actually do? I like to help protect our earth, and when I heard about environmentalists, it kind of peaked my interests.
I wanted to know what they actually do most of the time, and what kind of courses I%26#039;d have to take in high school to become one.

Best Answer

An environmentalist is not a profession, but a point of view. It describes a person who cares about the environment.

An environmental scientist is a profession in which a person studies environmental problems and figures out a way to fix them. Take chemistry and biology in high school, and look for a college with an environmental science major.
