This document discusses renewable resources and how harvesting and processing them impacts the environment. It provides examples of living and non-living renewable resources and how traditional aboriginal cultures conserved resources through practices like only cutting trees when needed. The document concludes by stating the importance of conserving renewable resources for future use and provides some examples of ways to conserve resources such as using both sides of paper, reducing waste, and composting.
2. •We harvest and process renewable resources
to meet our needs. Renewable resources are
some of earth’s resources that can replace
themselves through reproduction, re-growing,
or renewing themselves. Examples of living
renewable resources are human, fish, and fox.
Examples of non-living resources are water,
wind, and the sun.
3. •Harvesting and processing renewable
resources has an impact on the environment.
Harvesting renewable resources is taking any
resources, including water, from earth’s
surface. Processing renewable resources is
changing from its natural into another form.
Example salmon are processed so they will
taste different or to preserve them or in other
words make them last longer.
4. •Traditional aboriginal cultures protect
and conserve resources. For example when
a aboriginal person only cuts a cedar tree
if its only needed.
5. We must conserve and protect our renewable
resources for future use. If we conserve and
protect our renewable resources like
aboriginal people then renewable resources
will never be gone.
6. Some things to do to conserve renewable
resources :
• Use both side of paper because it’s a product
made by trees.
•Reuse, reduce, and recycle resources.
•Only use resources you need.
•Compost which is another form of recycling.
