Natural Resources
Fun Facts
- Freshwater is a limited resource because most Earth's water is salty ocean water.
- One way to conserve limited resources like fossil fuels is to carpool.
- Fossil fuels are limited resources that could run out in less than 80 years.
Why Do We Need To Know About Limited Resource
Learning about things we can run out of, like natural gas for cooking and water for farming, shows us why it’s important to use them wisely. For example, we use trees for medicine and metals and rubber to make things, which shows how many jobs need to be careful with resources. This includes jobs in saving the environment and making clean energy.
