Nature and our responsibility towards it
Natural resources are things we depend in our everyday lives. Food, water, and clean air are three natural resources that we depend on constantly. We have a responsibility towards these resources and that’s to not deplete them. We have to stand up and take responsibility and save the resource before they are all gone. If we deplete these resources the human species will die out.

First we have to take responsibility and not deplete our natural resources because they feed us. Animals eat natural resources such as grass, hay, and a mixture of other natural resources so that they can stay alive. In return we eat these animals to keep us alive. If we don’t care for these resources not only will we be depleting natural resources; we will also be depleting the resources we need to survive. In the food chain animals are the consumers and the producers are the plants and vegetables. Sun and plants are what makes food. All energy comes from the sun. Plants make food with energy which is called photosynthesis. Plants also make many other nutrients for other organisms to eat. Different animals provide for our food chain in different ways. You have herbivores which eats our plants such as a squirrel or cow. You have carnivores which are meat eaters. They supply many of the animals we don’t usually eat such as lions and tigers. You then have omnivores which supply our bears and pigs because they can eat plants and meat. As you can see many of these natural resources are used to supply all of our animal’s food for their survival. Natural resources were cared for in a better manner years ago. Cave men depended on those resources because it was the only means of survival. We have been depending on these resources for as long as human kind has lived on earth. Natural resources has provided us with life and it’s time for us to conserve its life.

Next we must take responsibility and not deplete our natural resources because it provides us with water. Many of our lakes and

But, as we all know, several words in the dictionary have more than one meaning. According to Charles Baudelaire, the word drunk is one of these words.…

    “Environmental stewardship is the responsibility to take care of our natural resources to ensure that they are sustainably managed for current and future generations” (Responsible Stewardship and Sustainable Resource Management, 2013). Sustainable resources are those resources that are replenished at a rate equal to, or greater than, the rate of consumption (What are Sustainable resources, 2013). Stewardship of natural resources is important for both individuals and organizations. By managing resource usage ethically and responsibly, good stewards of natural resources ensure healthy and beauty of the environment for the future. Stewardship begins at home. If everyone were to manage, care and steward the natural resources with which they have been entrusted or have access, large scale problems such as pollution and animal extinction that occur from mismanagement and poor stewardship of resources can be prevented.…

    Did you know that the United States alone has used ⅓ of the world's resources? We are overusing natural resources and action needs to be taken to address this problem that is becoming more life-threatening over time. Overpopulation is a crucial factor in this problem. Natural resources are provided by the environment; they support life and satisfy everyone’s needs, but not the environment itself. The way that resources are retrieved and used is unacceptable and very harmful to our environment; the problem is that most of them are nonrenewable (Oil Prop Simulation- I will show the class how oil is retrieved). They will be gone forever after they are used, which is why their use and more importantly, their extraction should be limited and maybe completely stopped.…

    People hold a very intimate relationship with food, whether it be for nourishment, a peace offering, trade, part of a religious practice, to provide a sense of community, or to satisfy a personal need. Its meanings are rooted deep within and are the foundations of many cultures. There was a time when humans were very connected to the food they ate. Not only did they know its origins, but they ate what was needed for survival. They were as much a part of earth as any other animal, although they had an intelligence to understand, appreciate, and respect all of nature's offerings. During the hunting and gathering era, fruits, vegetables, grains, and other food sources were abundant in nature. Humans had not only choices between types of food, but also thousands of varieties of one species.…

We extract resources faster then they can be renewed, and we produce waste faster then the earth can assimilate it. The result is natural decline in the productivity of the ecosystem. Many people don’t believe they are part of the ecosystem but people are starting to realize that they are and need to contribute/protect it.…

    “A significant concern for humanity is its relationship with the natural world and nature’s influence on human behaviour and human interaction.” These are the guidelines in which the topic ‘in the wild’ fits. I have studied two texts that demonstrate the effects of ‘In The Wild’ very well: ‘Brave New World’, a confronting novel by Aldous Huxley, and 'Blade Runner', a post-modern film by Ridley Scott, are two dystopian, science-fiction texts which demonstrate the connection between man and nature and the effects of losing this connection.…

    To refute the argument conservation of natural resources comes in the form on technology. According to the text, “alternative fuels and energy sources are being explored and developed” (Thiroux & Krasemna, 16.2.1). Biofuel, nuclear power, solar panels, and wind power are all examples of alternate ways to conserve the resources so intentional conservation by humans is not needed. With the technological advances becoming visible, especially on a new planet, the use of resources can be used for the sake of Utilitarianism. The second objection to the Utilitarianism argument is misusage of natural resources.…
