The Importance Of Natural Resources

The earth population has been growing in great numbers; especially, after the industrial revolution in 1790 where the manufacturing methods changed from hand production to machine made goods. The growing amount of people’s needs living in industrialized countries was the main reason the change was necessary. Therefore, the demand of materials for new homes, for public infrastructure, as well as the need to feed the new population were the main factors for an increase in the use of our natural resources. As a consequence and many centuries later, we are using our natural resources to the point that we are depleting all of it. It is our responsibility to stop the destruction of what Mother Nature has offered us for a long time. Our number

It’s hard to decide if jobs are more important than our natural resources; maybe the answer is knowing what jobs we are going to have if there are not natural resources

Protecting nature and its natural resources. It is a moral duty we have to our next generation. If we are not environmentally concern about our natural world, and we do not assume our responsibility to act against the indiscriminate depredation, we are heading to an uncertain future of conflicts, wars about energy, food or water will replace border conflicts or religious differences. We need to be prepared to change the way humanity is using all earth resources through education, technology. Earth and its natural resources were a gift from nature to our humanity. We don’t want to be ungrateful; we do not wish to destroy it. Let’s show compassion, and responsibility to save our
