What major should I go for if I am extremely good with computers and like to help the environment and do labor?

I'm struggling to figure out what to major in for college. I am extremely computer literate, and even know more than my computer science professor. So naturally Computer Science would be a good major for me. But when I researched it, I have to take 5 more classes of calculus, and you have to constantly read about the new languages that develop as technology changes. Although I'm good at math and know I could make it into UCLA if I want, I don't want a job like that. I want a job that utilizes computer programs but doesn't revolve around it. I have many interests, especially of protecting the environment and working in the garden t (no I'm not gay). What would be a good major for me to choose? I've thought about landscape architecture, but I'm still not too sure if I would be the best at that job. I'm afraid if I get an Environmental Science degree I'll end up being a teacher.

i would recommend choosing a philosophy major
Pretty much all the sciences and engineering use computer science (programming) in some way - not all of the people in the field do, but people who analyze data or model systems will use it.
How about Environmental Studies Major, Computer Sci Minor? The minor defines where your ES major will take you and you won't always end up being a teacher. I'm working on an ES Major, Political Sci Minor and looking for a job in the government doing policies. Come to Eckerd College in St. Pete if you're confused.
Perhaps this is where you should pull in a minor. Keep in mind if you do any computer related classes/careers you are going to always have to keep up on the latest computer "languages". Perhaps Architecture (working with CAD) with a minor in environmental science. With the way everything is going "green" these days it could be a very useful combination. Allowing you to put your knowledge of the environment and/or environmental designs to good use.
