2. What is a Natural Resource? Their elements created by the Earth. They are either renewable or non-renewable. They exist throughout the whole world. Something that humans use everyday.
3. What makes a resource renewable, and effect on the environments It is replaced or made naturally. Shouldn’t take long to be renewed. They are used by all life. They help to form eco –systems.
5. What is a non – renewable resource? Resources that don’t renew shortly after use. Take thousands of years to create. Some are rare resources. (oil, etc…) Consumed faster in respect to amount.
8. Recycling and Re-using Recycling helps lower resource use. Recycling can help save our planet. Recycled items are used in some products. Mostly metals and plastics are reused.
9. Humans protection of resources Parks are made to protect resources We use safety guides for harvesting Trying to make renewable energy Laws on animal harvesting (limits, seasons).
10. How humans positively effect nature People have created renewable energy. Some types are: hydro, solar, wind Also have created bio fuels. The renewable resources are much cleaner
11. Other ways Humans help nature Humans protect endangered species We rehabilitate hurt animals. (Rescue teams) Clean up the environment after disasters. Place caps on yearly animal harvesting.
12. Help the eco-systems People create parks: national & local Prevent destruction of eco-systems with laws Clean up oil spills and save species Have organizations and laws for protection
13. How pollution harm the environment Humans pollute in many ways daily. Trash goes to landfills, or polluting. Pollution can causes ozone loss Pollution contaminates both water and air
14. Harming the environment Major destruction of forested areas Rain forest is being rapidly depleted Oil spills cause major environmental harm Recreation on water harms eco – systems
15. More harm to our planet Uncontrolled chemical waste ruins the Earth Chernobyl, Ukraine Poaching animals can kill eco – systems Over population of humans on Earth Destruction of environments for metropolises
16. Conclusion Recycle things like plastic, paper, metal Use energy more efficiently Renewable resources are made quickly by Earth Non renewable resources aren’t remade by Earth
