Environmental issues are interdisciplinary by their very nature. Issues
involve scientific principles, government legislation and regulation, community
relations, technology, city planning, etc. So there are many aspects to
investigate. There are also many stakeholders involved in the outcome.
So environmental studies lend themselves easily to interdisciplinary studies.
You will need to cross those discipline barriers and recruit teachers and
students for other subjects to include the Environmental topic into their
lessons. these teachers will also be willing to help with the planning of
the project.
