Our Changing Planet- Holli Kohl
Earth changes every day. A fire burns a forest. A grassy meadow grows after a rainy spring. People build houses and roads in what used to be a wheat field. Mapping change helps us make decisions to build safe and healthy homes. It also helps us see how climate change is affecting life around us, and how we might make choices to limit the impact of climate change.
