In addition to collecting data on humanity s effect on our planet, NASA is working toward becoming more sustainable.
NASA is responsible for collecting much of the data that people use to explain humanity’s environmental impact on Earth, from documenting climate change and its impacts on ice, sea level, and weather patterns, to monitoring the health of forests and the movement of fresh water.
But NASA doesn’t just report the data. It also acts on it.
