Today on The Environment Report...  

You can become a climate scientist!  
Citizen scientists across the country 
are helping climatologists track global 
warming, by documenting plants in their 
own backyards.  Sadie Babits gives it 
a try.  

And... a jumbo-sized ferry in Hawaii 
has been forced to halt operations 
until an environmental review can be 
completed. Heidi Chang reports the state 
is concerned about transportation of 
invasive species and damage to whales.
