What are natural resources?
Natural resources: are materials or substances occurring in nature which can be exploited for economic gain. There are two types of natural resources:
Renewable and non-renewable resources:
Renewable resources are replenished naturally and over relatively short periods of time. Nonrenewable resources take long time to be replenished.
Natural resources are a part of every human's everyday life. Without natural resources humans would not survive. Power plants are a big part of a human's life but it uses natural resources that will eventually deplete. Power plants run on coal and coal is a natural resource.
Some ignore their importance because we still
have enough, but, talking about
nonrenewable resource, we will
indeed run out of them.
Now that you know what natural resources are and why are they important, its time to learn how to take care of them.
Step 1. Reduce the water use.
According to Save the Water, the average American uses 2,000 gallons of water every day, while the average family in Africa uses only 5 gallons of water each day. The conserving
of water can make a big
difference.
Water is the most abundant natural resource in the world. In fact, it covers up to 70.9 percent of the Earth’s surface. However, it is important to note that only about 3 percent of water is fresh and out of this, only about less than 1 percent is available for direct human use. It is therefore important to manage water efficiently. Management of water is achieved by a change in lifestyle. Using only the amount of water you require and not leaving taps running will
go a long way in conserving water.
There are many different ways to reduce your household’s energy use, ranging from simple behavioral adjustments to extensive home improvements. The two major motives for conserving energy are to save on utility bills and protect the
environment.
The by-products of power plants can have a negative impact on the environment and human health. Limiting your family’s electricity use can make a big difference, while also saving you money. Here’s a few ways you can conserve
electricity at home.
Every time we drive to school, use our heater or air conditioner, clean our windows, or even style our hair, we make choices that affect air pollution. These steps, as well as many
others, are things we all can
do to help reduce air pollution.
Air pollution causes damage to crops, animals, forests, and bodies of water. It also contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer, which protects the Earth from the sun's UV rays.
While the abstract idea of reducing one’s waste can be overwhelming, a great place to start is within the comfort of your own home.
Little changes such as switching to cloth bags instead of plastic ones or making a concerted effort to recycle cans and bottles can make a big difference in your waste output.
Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.

Numbers 35:33
"You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it."
