for 2 months i have been asking if we in Environment & Ecology could have our own catagory ,and not be hidden under Mathmatics
,I even wrote to Al Gore ,and to Jane ,and made several sugestions in the forum
2 hours Ago it happened ,
three cheers for Yahoo
does any one else think this is great
(now its a question)
Chrissie ask a question but does not have any way for people to answer her ,Ecology is a blend of Greek and latin meaning the study or the knowledge of the home (environment)
so Environment is the place and Ecology is the knowledge of the place ,In essence both mean the same thing ,but for those who have a problem with that we have already ASKED YAHOO IF THEY CAN INCLUDE THE NAME ECOLOGY WITH ENVIRONMENT again

Yeah, That’s terrific! I hope heaps of people use it and benefit from it and I myself am very glad that we have an Environmental category.
Lois
Yeh, this is great. it would help a lot, keeping in view the importance of getting upto date in this area and attracting more and more people to learn this field.
Thanks to Yahoo.
Herbert
I’ve been trying to find the “ecology and environment” section for a while. But wow. There is section dedicated to the Environment. Thank you Yahoo answer team.
Agnes
A very appropriate move. For one thing it gets “global warming” out of the category of science where it never belonged in the first place.
Gina
thanks to you, and to yahoo for taking notice!!
well done to you all and may i hand out a big hug to you in particular my friend?! X

It needs work. The categories have less to do with environmental science now and are dealing more with the reactionary “Al Gore” pseudoscience of scare-em environmental activism.

Back in the 1970’s, Ecology and Environmental Science had hardly been heard of – it was Biology, Chemistry and Physics and that was about it. Back then, anyone who professed an interest in the importance of ecology and environmental science, as it became known, was accused of being ‘loony’ or a bit ‘crack-pot’. Since then we have learnt to know better. The importance of Ecology and Environmental Science has now been fully recognised to the extent that these subjects are taught in their own right in schools, colleges and universities right around the world. Even in circumstances where there is little or no formal education, the ordinary person growing up recognises the importance of his/her own local ecology and natural environment and the effects of man’s actions on the world around them. The fact that so many people have a genuine interest and concern for these issues has now also been recognised and acknowledged by Yahoo in the formation of the new Environment category here at Answers. It will be interesting to see how this category develops over the course of time. I wish it well.
Kathleen
Yes, but please,
where is
ECOLOGY????
Roy
Yes I think it is great! Way to go, Byderule! Yay Yahoo!
Regina
I think its great. I’d like to see some grass roots ideas, things/actions people can do in their homes and communities. That is while we still have some grass roots. Apparently governments can’t help us…guys in expensive suits and bad haircuts having meetings in D.C.do not save the world, they just talk about it.
Andrew
Yes, indeed.
It is a good thing to have a category for Environment related questions.
Good Job, Yahoo! Inc.

Congratulations on receipt of this most important segment to be included in our discussion group. Now, all we need is an adult section for matters that minors should not see or be a part of, and who would not become affected by matters that are more mature. Also, other adults who are easily offended would have a choice or not to enter in.

Yes! I think this is the best topic of them all! Everything else doesn’t matter if we trash ourselves out of our current home (Earth). Everything we do should be in a positive step to improve our environment. Imagine that in the bibical times, the middle ages, and the turn of the century, they were also concerned about their footprint on the environment. Today we could easily make a 12 square acres of trash during our life time. I encourage those who are interested in decreasing their ecological footprint to visit:
