Environment and Nature: many confuse what to do first?

Many like to talk about environment because it is related to what we can see in front of our eyes and what we listen. Not many like to talk about ecology because it is related to forest, trees, animals, water, river and nature in general. All those things are far from us.
Yesterday during Youth Environmental Expo I heard from teachers and school children saying that why we collaborate with Jabatan Biologi? why not with Jabatan Alam Sekitar UPM, They are more related to alam sekitar rather than biology.
Now biologist need to work harder to convince the public especially the young generation that biology, ecology, biodiversity and ecological changes are important in our life. pollution is ecological changes!! Something related to contamination, pollution and effects of hazardous chemicals on ecological processes and physiology or photochemistry we can say ecotoxicology.
