this is a huge field- although she may want to consider getting a physics( or)biology(or)chemistry degree with an environmental emphasis, as an " environmental" science degree, may be not deep enough for undergrad.
Actually implications in just about any field can impact the environment, and the perspective from a business or anthropological standpoint can be valuable as well.

This just my general feeling.

There are a lot of employers re: the environment. For example this quarter I am taking a class on how to help tribes and local governments and businesses, to fish & use their land more sustainably.
Government is a huge employer.
