Our relationship with Earth is complicated, since every living thing relies on the planet's natural resources, yet human activity has caused many environmental problems. Pollution is among the most serious of these today. This book explains what causes pollution and what effects it has.

It also lays out solutions at two levels: large-scale measures that can be taken across societies and personal actions that individuals can adopt. The goal is to encourage young readers to look after the planet and to help them build the habits of future environmental advocates.

The content is presented through charts, graphs, maps, and infographics that address 21st-century topics in an accessible format. The book ends with an activity, a glossary, an index, lists of suggested books and websites, and a bibliography.
