Satellites have helped us understand how humans are changing the Earth - from the air we breathe to the water we drink. Many of these changes are leading us down a one-way road to more extreme weather, droughts, and a warmer Earth. How have we seen our planet change from afar, and what can we do to help restore our Earth?
