Модель уживання:
[someone] is an environmentalist
Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes confuse "environmental" (an adjective) with "environmentalist" (a person). For example, "She is very environmental" is incorrect; it should be "She is an environmentalist" or "She cares about the environment." Another mistake is using it for things instead of people, like "an environmentalist problem" instead of "an environmental problem."

In formal job descriptions, prefer terms like "environmental scientist" or "environmental consultant" if the role is strictly professional.

environmental scientist (More specific and clearly scientific; does not include non-scientist activists, while environmentalist sometimes does in this sense.)
|
environmental consultant (Refers especially to a paid professional who advises companies or governments on environmental issues.)
Антоніми
