Answer 2

Definately start with the Environmental Sciences. That would help in a long spectrum of things. You may want to help by perhaps starting an environmental group in school with a Go Green Campaign.

There are so many ways to volunteer with out sending money... Shelters, Mentor program, or even start with a small group of friends that want to make a difference and brainstorm ideas to help raise money for charities or a collection of needed items for a particular charity or project. Good Luck!

Science can be a way to help especially in the environmental field.   For many activities to help the environment one needs a scientific background to know what to do and how and to be able to teach others and get them to listen.  For example ppl will listen more to someone with a background in chemistry  or botany about not damaging forests or about how environmental abuses can be stopped than to someone with a background in say art or psychology because they see that person as an expert.  A study of science may also help you develop solutions that can make a difference.

How to help now is another thing.  I do not know your country but it seems to me that for all of us everywhere helping is a matter of priorities so to the extent that you can choose what is priority to you you are able to help.   For example in the environmental area you can choose to use products that are biodegradable, you can choose not to toss out trash randomly and add to polution, you can make some not all but some school assignments be about things that help make people alert to environmental concerns like if you have a general essay to write where you pick the topic.  You can choose to not spend money on some treat and buy a package or two of seeds for a family in need to help them grow food,  I don't know prices there but here a coke and a package of vegetable seed are about the same price.  One will taste good for a few moments and help decay your teeth the other may feed a family for several days or weeks.  Even in donating you do not have to do a huge amount even the equivelent of $1 will make a difference.    As you do these small things and your friends see you doing them you will be an example for them and they may do some of these things too.    The little things done regularly add up to more than one big thing at some far off time.  As you travel you can look for opportuinities to do kindness and to talk to people about the needs you see.  That means taking some time to educate yourself about them of course.   You may also find that you can volunteer in small ways.  You may not work in a soup kitchen or an nenvironmental action office every day but maybe you can take one hour a month and put out information about where to get food or how to help save trees.  Maybe you can get a couple of friends to do these things too and multiply your efforts.

You first need to prepare yourself by finishing your education. This will put you in a position to get some kind of job where you can do research, or perhaps a job in government where eventually you can make policy.

Putting everything aside because you want to start now is just a distraction. In the end it will not be effective.
