we must empower youth with the knowledge, technology, and tools to become
tomorrow's change agents. The good news is that Cathryn Berger Kaye and Philippe

ultimately save our environment."-Lori McFarling, CMO, Discovery Education

"Saving our water planet requires the full engagement of young people. Going Blue
is just the map needed to show them the way-translating concern into relevant,

leading to global warming and ocean acidification. If you're ready to do more than
just talk about reducing your carbon footprint, this is the book for you."-Harriet
