Definition:
A resource that can be reused again and again and probably will not run out any time soon.
Renewable Resource ![]()
What limited resource that was formed over millions of years (from ancient plants and animals) will run out one day if we do not conserve it?
Fossil Fuels.
Coal 
Nonrenewable
Using a plastic water bottle again and again.
Reuse.
Name any greenhouse gas.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Methane (CH4)
Nitrous Oxide (NO2)
Water Vapor (H2O)
In this graph we see the energy consumption from various sources of electricity. According to the graph which source probably contributes the most greenhouse gases when used?

Natural Gas

Definition:
When harmful substances or energy gets into the natural environment. Example- Trash

Pollution
Cutting down forests can cause soil erosion, displace wildlife, and contribute to this world wide effect?
Hint: This is causing the temperature of the planet to go up.
The greenhouse effect.
Oil
Nonrenewable.
Riding a bike rather than driving a car and using gas.
Reduce.
Burning what leads to creating the majority of greenhouse gases?
Fossil Fuels
Which energy sources in the pie chart create the most pollution in the United States?
Oil, coal, natural gas
Definition:
Energy sources created from ancient plants and ancient animals under heat and pressure for millions of years.
Fossil Fuels

What is a benefit of renewable resources over nonrenewable resources?
Renewable resources don't run out.
Renewable resources contribute less carbon emissions.
Nonrenewable resources are found in specific areas and can lead to conflict.
Natural Gas 
Nonrenewable
Creating sculptures from trash.

Recycling
(The trash was transformed into art)
What impact is the greenhouse effect having on the earth?
Temperatures are rising.
In this picture, what man made activity is contributing to carbon emissions?

Factory Emissions
Definition:
When soil is worn away by wind or water

Soil Erosion
Land next to a riverbed is empty. Each time it rains or floods the soil is carried down stream. This is causing algae to bloom killing fish and depleting nutrients from the soil near the riverbank.
What can be done to help preserve the soil next to the river?

Planting trees or plants.
Hydroelectric 
Renewable ![]()
Introducing carpool lanes to encourage people to ride together and use less gas.
Reduce
What is a way to help slow or stop the greenhouse effect?
Recycling. Switching to renewable Energy. Protecting forests. Conserving electricity. Riding a bike instead of driving a car.
What types of types of resources are shown in the diagram below?
Fossil Fuels
Definition:
The salt concentration of water.
Example: In ocean water, this is high which makes the water undrinkable as is.

Salinity.
Students at school start a natural resource campaign to create awareness about the benefits of PAPER recycling. What natural resource is this campaign helping to conserve?
Trees!
