Hands-on experiments show readers how to explore the science behind the facts while action globes suggest ways to make a difference on a daily basis. To highlight what is already being done eyewitness reports from professionals including a glaciologist in Antarctica and a garbologist in New York describe how their work is improving the management of the planet.
