2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CARIBBEAN ADVANCED PROFICIENCY EXAMINATION MAY/JUNE 2003 INTRODUCTION Environmental Science is a two-unit course, each unit consisting of three modules. Unit I, which consists of Fundamental Ecological Principles, People and The Environment and Sustainable Use Of Natural Resources, was examined on open syllabus for the first time during the 2003 examination period. Unit II which consists of the three modules, Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Energy Use, and Pollution of the Environment, was piloted during this examination period.

The term the environment comes from the French word environ and means everything that surrounds us. Under such a broad umbrella, there is a host of ways in which environmental studies can be understood. The Faculty of Environmental Studies defines it as the study of a range of environments, from the bodies we live, to the physical structures, institutions and industries we build, to the politics, languages and cultural practices we use to communicate, and to the earth and its complex multitude of animals, flora and bio-physical elements and processes. The Faculty also adopts an inter-disciplinary approach to environmental studies where the social sciences, humanities, arts and natural sciences meet and inform each other. The Faculty encourages the use of different theoretical approaches and disciplinary and interdisciplinary ideas to explore environmental issues and options in their historical, comparative and current contexts, considering ecological, political and economic constraints and possibilities. We encourage exploration of how theoretical and practical matters intersect, and how reflexive, rigorous, critical and creative thinking can inform interpretations and policies in the wider society.…
