Earth’s Natural Resources
• The global environment makes up the life support systems of the whole plant.
• Some resources are renewable, which means they can replace themselves naturally over time.
• Other resources are nonrenewable; they cannot be replaced once they are used.

How Pollution Occurs
• Water pollution comes from chemicals and waste products making their way into our water sources.
• Land pollution comes form the disposal of household and industrial water, usually into landfills.
landfill

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
• Reuse any items you can, share items, and buy used goods.
• Recycling conserves energy, natural resources, and helps
reduce waste. • Use items that
are made from
materials that may
have landed in
landfills.
