What are Natural Resources?
A natural resource is anything
we use that comes from the Earth – like plants, animals, water, wood,
oil and metals. We use natural resources to make electricity, to grow
our food and to drive our cars. In fact, everything that we eat, use
or buy has been made from, or is, a natural resource.
Natural resources are all around us and we are using them up quickly. Many resources are being
used up faster than they can be replaced. It is a worry that some natural resources will run out
soon if their consumption is not reduced. This is a serious problem, as all life depends on these
resources.
