About Natural Resources

2. Natural resources are resources that are drawn from nature and
used with few modifications. This includes the sources of valued
characteristics such as commercial and industrial use, aesthetic
value, scientific interest, and cultural value.
The Philippines is gifted with a lot of natural resources it has
natural landforms and water forms with wonderful landscape and
attractive resources.

5. Water are natural resources of water
that are potentially useful for
humans, for example as a source of
drinking water supply or irrigation
water.
The right temperature and
abundant rainfall that the
philippines receives are two of the
reasons why our country is
considered to be a megadiverse
country

6. Land and Soil
The Philippines is also made of
abundant land resources most of
our country’s soil is suited for
agricculture. Soil resources are
important for crop reproduction
like rice, corn, coconut, and
abaca.
It is located along the pacific ring of
fire the philippines is a home of
majestic mountains, volcanoes and
other landforms.

9. Fossil Fuel
The Philippines also consists of fossil
fuels wells fossil fuels formed from
plants and animals that live on earth
millions of years ago, it takes
millions of years for dead plants and
animals to turn into fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are used to produce electricity,
run vehicles and factory machines fuel for
cooking and in making plastics coal and
natural gas that can be found in Philippines

10. Tropical climate and geological conditions of the
Philippines provide several possibilities to get clean
and cheap energy, some of are the following:
- Energy from the sun called SOLAR ENERGY
- From wind called WIND ENERGY or WIND POWER
- From water called HYDROPOWER ENERGY or
HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY
- And heat from the earth’s interior called GEOTHERMAL
ENERGY

11. Human Activities That
Affects Natural Resources

12. Use of Plastic
Waste plastic is everywhere on earth, even
in the oceans. The chemicals present in the
plastics are released in the waters.

13. Overhunting and Overfishing
Overhunting and Overfishing have caused a
reduction in the diversity of plant and animal
species on earth. Overfishing threatened many
marine species and may lead to extinction.

14. Logging/Cutting trees
Logging is the process of cutting, processing
and moving trees to a location for transport. It
may include skidding, on-site processing, and
loading of trees or logs onto trucks or skeleton
cars.

15. Water Pollution
Nitrates from organic fertilizers, phosphates
from detergents, organic wastes and solid
wastes are the main pollutants of freshwater.

16. Use of Chemical Fertilizer
The injection of vast amounts of
phosphorous and nitrogen nutrients into
natural soils, and land, and water systems
due to fertilizer use.

17. Ways to Reduce of Human
Activities on Natural Resources

18. We need to act now to protect our planet for ourselves
and future generations. Conserving natural resources is a
broad topic, but here are 5 things we can do to start
protecting the earth’s resources.

19. 1. REDUCE FOOD WASTE
Approximately a third of the food produced for
human consumption every year gets wasted or lost.
Because of all the resources required to grow,
transport and prepare the food, this is a huge
waste. Keeping track of the food you have, planning
meals and shopping trips ahead of time and
properly storing food can help reduce food waste at
home.

20. 2. Drive Less
Gasoline is a product made from crude oil, a finite
natural resource and fossil fuel. Car manufacturing
also requires many different kinds of natural
resources, includes rubber and various metals.
You can conserve natural resources by not owning a
car, owning a more fuel-efficient car or driving less.
Walking, bicycling taking public transportation and
carpooling are all excellent alternatives to driving.

21. In addition to switching away from single-use plastics,
we can also recycle more to help with the plastic
problem. Check with your local government or
recycling company to see what you can recycle
curbside where you live. For other items, you may be
able to find a business in your community that can
help recycle items.
3. Recycle More and Improve Recycling Systems

22. In 2016, global plastics production was approximately
335 million metric tons, and about half of that was
used to make single-use products, according to the
Earth Day Network.
Reducing our plastic use helps us avoid the use of the
resources needed to make plastic and prevents plastic
waste from harming the natural environment.
4. AVOID SINGLE-USE PLASTICS

23. Growing your own produce helps the environment by
reducing the emissions and fossil fuel pollution used
to transport foods to the supermarket, and if you
grow your plants organically, without pesticides and
herbicides, then you’re ensuring that the earth will
return to it’s natural state without damaging the soil
and making it harder for plants to grow in future.
6. Veggie garden and compost

24. If we will not conserve these natural
resources there will be no enough supply
for us in the future and for the future
generations.
