Passion in caring for Mother Nature
CRAFT a successful career based on a passion in caring for the environment by pursuing a degree in Environmental Technology to qualify as an environmental technologist.
Environmental technologists are involved in water and air pollution control, solid waste management, sustainable development and public health issues.
They also conduct hazardous waste management studies, advise on hazardous waste treatment and containment, and develop regulations for environmental protection.
Environmental technologists are also largely involved in the development, planning and implementation of green technology, alternative energy and life- cycle analysis.
Unlike other fields of science and technology, being an environmental technologist is unique because they develop solutions to environmental problems using the principles of biology, physics and chemistry.
Many environmental technologists work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations and to clean up hazardous sites or conduct research on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, analyse scientific data and perform quality- control checks.
