Future Engineering: The Clean Water Challenge by Robyn C. Friend and Judith Love Cohen was written to help our youngest generation learn about the engineering challenges that will face future generations in the task of providing adequate and safe water for all of our everyday uses. We have been so used to the seemingly endless supply of water that we don't think about how much technology and work has gone into creating aqueducts, water treatment facilities, desalination processes and everything else that lets us get the water out of the ground or the ocean and bring it to our homes.
This book helps children imagine what changes might be made to continue to do this in the future and maybe see themselves as the engineers to make this happen.

Friend and Judith Love Cohen tells the story of solar power: what it is, what it can do, and how we can use this energy to help us have a cleaner planet.

Since a large part of the greenhouse gases are emitted during electric power generation, one exciting new solution focuses on using hydrogen fuel and storing the carbon dioxide deep underground while generating the electricity. And there are other necessary solutions to implement. Our youngest generation needs to know how they can participate in saving their present and future home.
