Green+Planet

My book starts to speak about scientists; they are worried cause they need to send a satellite called Envisat .Finally they send it and the satellite sends information about the earth. With this information scientists can learn what is really happening in the air, in the sea and on the earth. The information shows them how the earth is changing because of the things people do, like catching fish, cutting down trees, and using cars. The scientists can tell us if these changes are good or bad for the planet.
