Conserving Earth's Resources

Conserving Earths Resources

1. We use Earth's resources to make electricity that runs machines in our homes. Turn off things that use electricity, like lights, TVs, and computers when you leave the room.

2. Trees our resources. Paper is made from trees. We can recycle paper or reuse it. We can use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins.

3. Water is a resource Turn the water off while you are brushing your teeth. Take short showers. Volunteer to help clean up a beach or river bank near your home.

4. We can use solar panels in our home. Solar panels use the energy from the sun. Solar panels do not take energy from power plants. Solar panels also send extra energy to power plants.

Replenish Earths Resources

1. We can plant new trees. These trees can replace the one that were cut down.

2. We can use old food waste to create compost. Compost replenishes nutrients, or food from plants, in the soil.

3. We can promote sustainable fishing and agriculture. Being sustainable means that we use resources wisely. They are not overused. They are used in a healthy way. They can continue to be used forever.
