     665  0 Kommentare Silicon Valley Students Experience DigitalGlobe's Satellite's-Eye View of Environmental Degradation and Improvements Fostered by Restoration

    SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2016) - Today, DigitalGlobe, Inc. (NYSE: DGI), the global leader in earth imagery and information about our changing planet, will host "Drop in the Bucket" -- an Earth Day celebration designed to engage Bay Area students and expand their understanding of environmental concerns brought about by growth and climate change in the San Francisco Bay area.

    A DigitalGlobe expert and Congressman Mike Honda, the U.S. Representative for California's 17th congressional district, will show students at Peterson Middle School exclusive high-resolution satellite images of significant environmental damage brought about by overdevelopment, population growth and climate change. They will also view images that highlight the progress over time of projects to mitigate degradation to natural resources and habitats. The goal of this Earth Day event is to engage students in becoming good stewards of the environment, and inspire them to take action to protect the land. Students will also learn from images of restoration projects that are helping to reverse those losses.

    Seeing what others cannot see -- a perspective delivered by high-resolution images of Earth over time -- can mean the difference between an uninformed decision and the right decision. By chronicling the Earth from space, DigitalGlobe provides a unique vantage point, transparency and context about our changing planet. As event sponsor, DigitalGlobe will give students a bucket as a reminder that by taking steps to minimize water use they can save the equivalent of one bucket of water a day.

    In 2009, Congressman Mike Honda (D-Silicon Valley, Calif.) reintroduced and championed the Global Warming Education Act, an educational program within the National Science Foundation to broaden American's understanding of human-induced global warming, its consequences and potential solutions. 

    Congressman Honda is also a longtime supporter of the Santa Clara Unified School District. "Today's event is a prime example of how industry, government and education can join hands to champion a cause that affects every Californian," he said. "Changes in our environment, and over an extended period, have never been quite as easy to spot or as compelling as made possible by high-resolution imagery from satellites. It's easy to speak of cumulative environmental damage, but something else to see it with the help of high-resolution satellite images that can inspire students -- and all citizens -- to become catalysts for change."
