Nothing is safe from the gaze of environmental researchers at America's college's and universities. Nothing, not consumer behavior and now, not even love and marriage.
Jianguo Liu, a professor at Michigan State University, contends in a new study that divorce has a negative impact on the environment. Divorced people, it seems, use more electricity and water than married households: 42% to 61% more resources per person than when they were married.
For more than 20 years, Liu has focused his research on how ecology interacts with socioeconomics, looking at the relationship between nature and humans and how their interactions affect the environment. Michigan State, which is based in East Lansing, Mich., offers 17 majors in aspects of evironmental studies and environmental science. Some of the more unusual ones includes environmental and resource economics, environmental geosciences and environmental toxicology.
