Natural resource Natural resources (economically referred to as land or raw materials) are naturally forming substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified (natural) form. A natural resource’s value rests in the amount and extractability of the material available and the demand for it. The latter is determined by its usefulness to production. A commodity is generally considered a natural resource when the primary activities associated with it are extraction and purification

Imagine that water is limited to the point that there is only one source on the planet. Imagine that the air is full of pollutants because trees are almost extinct. What kind of future do we want to leave our kids‚ grandkids‚ and great grandkids? The future of our fresh water supply

ENERGY RESOURCE PLAN Conserving energy is important to our society because it can extend the life time of non-renewable resources. Examples of these are oils‚ coal ‚ and gas. It also minimizes the use of larger more dangerous and environmentally damaging sources ‚such as deep sea oil and tar deposits. Currently the world produces 20 million barrels of oil each year. One-third of that is used by the United Sates. Concidering that only %35 of an oil well can be recoverd one-third is a lot to consume

Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful. Uses of water include agricultural‚ industrial‚ household‚ recreational and environmental activities. Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water. 97% of the water on the Earth is salt water. However‚ only three percent is fresh water; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.[1] The remaining unfrozen freshwater is found mainly as groundwater‚ with only a small fraction present
