Lesson titles include: (1) "The Problem of the Homeless Salmon"; (2) "Romancing the Past"; (3) "Own It or Lose It"; (4) "The Environment: Who Loves Ya, Baby?"; (5) "How Clean Is Clean Enough?"; (6) "How Can We Help the Endangered Species?"; (7) "Using Rewards to Protect Endangered Species"; (8) "The Costs and Benefits of Having Children"; (9) "Why Are There So Few Whales and So Many Chickens?"; (10) "Why Do Nonrenewable Resources Keep Increasing?"; (11) "Can Insecticides Help Us Fight Cancer?"; (12) "Why Drive When You Can Ride?"; (13) "Will There Be Enough Food For You?"; (14) "Do We Make Too Much Stuff?"; (15) "Save the Babies"; (16) "Why Would People Cut Down Trees in a Public Park?"; (17) "The Mystery of the Disappearing Christmas Trees"; and (18) "What is Worth Recycling?"
