I was recently reading the May/June 2021 issue of "Science Scope" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section "Scope on the Skies" written by Bob Riddle. Bob wrote an article entitled "Earth Watch."

The planet Earth is currently the only place where we can live, and just like our homes, classrooms, and local communities, there is a constant need for environmental awareness. This should highlight both the importance of thinking globally while dealing with local circumstances and the importance of monitoring our "home" from a global perspective, using for example, NOAA Satellites.
