Journey to Planet Earth has teamed with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to develop an educational outreach campaign called Citizens For Planet Earth. It's an exciting way for families and individuals to better understand and improve their local environment!

This initiative, funded in part by the National Science Foundation, is an integral part of the PBS series Journey to Planet Earth. It’s a learning adventure that provides hands-on environmental projects that will help you understand important national and regional scientific issues by conducting scientific investigations of your own environment. Online surveys and interactive databases, located at www.tryscience.org, allow you to evaluate environmental quality near your home, school or local science center.

Citizens for Planet Earth engages participants in a structured, scientific process by observing the world around them. Through this process, you can see how scientists collect and analyze data to learn more about the scientific process.

Most importantly, Citizens for Planet Earth will help people understand the environment in their own communities and empower individuals to take an active role in understanding the state of their environment.
