Did you know that our earth is full of natural resources? Natural Resources are substances that occur naturally on our planet. They are important because they provide us with the things we need to live like food, water, heat, light and power. Some examples of natural resources are forests, minerals, land, water, and wind. You can help to conserve natural resources by being smart about what resources you use. Turning off the lights when you leave a room, recycling cardboard, paper, and plastic, using a little less water when you wash hands, brush teeth or take a bath are all ways that you can help conserve natural resources.
