MY ROLE IN PRESERVING NATURAL RESOURCES Natural resources are materials and components (something that can be used) that can be found within the environment. Every man-made product is composed of natural resources (at its fundamental level). A natural resource may exist as a separate entity such as fresh water‚ and air‚ as well as a living organism such as a fish‚ or it may exist in an alternate form which must be processed to obtain the resource such as metal ores‚ oil‚ and most forms of energy

ECOLOGY Ecology is concerned with the study of organisms and their habitats. This includes the interdependence of various populations‚ their impact on each other and their surroundings‚ the effect of the surroundings on their behaviour‚ as well as the ways in which the organisms and the environment change in response to each other. A pond and its inhabitants provide a good example of these interrelationships. A pond contains: a. soil consisting of rock‚ minerals and dead remains of organisms b. water

Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by humanity‚ in a natural form. A natural resourceis often characterized by amounts of biodiversity and geodiversity existent in various ecosystems. Natural resources are derived from the environment. Some of them are essential for our survival while most are used for satisfying our needs. Natural resources may be further classified in different ways. Natural resources are materials and components (something

Colin Mitchell (2063) Ctw 1 draft 9/16/2014 One key ingredient of innovation that is the very spark of growth‚ whether economic or otherwise‚ is competition. Lying dormant in individuals worldwide is a competitive edge that‚ if they choose to act upon‚ can lead to almost immediate success. This of course‚ still depends on the gravity of the progression. As previously stated these competitors’ innovations can be seen encouraging individual level growth‚ however this does not exclude: regional

love to see animals in their natural habitat. It saddens me to see monkeys‚ seals‚ bears‚ etc.‚ caged in or dolphins in what looks like fair-sized pools of water‚ but‚ when you consider the vast ocean that they belong to‚ the pool is but a puddle. If governments of this world are environmentally conscious (and the U.S. and Canada are not) then we wouldn’t have to go to zoos to see these animals. It’s a far greater thrill to see the real thing in their own habitat. • By zoo I think you mean animal

I was much uninformed of this organization‚ but thought I knew the services they provided. For example‚ I thought this organization gave away houses‚ but instead they provide reasonable mortgage loans. I also didn’t know this organization was Christian based.

Many people do not understand the long- term consequences of losing the earth’s rain forests. They have provided all living beings with many natural resources and medicines. Their complete destruction will affect all living conditions due to the influence they have on the climate around the world. Traditionally though‚ there are three major causes of the destruction to the rain forests:
