OUR EARTH’S RESOURCES
We use things the
Earth gives us to help us live better lives.

Resource
A resource is something that we can get from the earth over and over again

How we use them
We use resources to make things and to grow things we need
Examples of things we use: Water to drink and grow plants for food,
shelter, and clothing Soil to grow plants for food, shelter, and
clothing Rocks for building and jewelry Metals to make cans, building parts, and
jewelry Sand to make glass Oil to make plastics and gasoline

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
In order to make resources last, we must take care of them
Resources can be: Renewable – grow over time, like trees Nonrenewable – we can never get more, like
aluminum Inexhaustible – we will never run out, like air
or water, BUT it can be ruined by pollution

So, we must
REDUCE how much we use REUSE what we can RECYCLE whatever we can
In order to help our Earth be able to keep providing for our needs.
