Respond to student Stefanie post The textbook defines natural resources as a useful material that is obtained from the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, or biosphere. Natural resources have not only been vital to our civilization but the depletion of natural resources has been a significant factor in the collapse of civilizations as well. The Rapa Nui civilization is an excellent example of how greatly a civilization is affected by loss of natural resources. As the islanders managed to cut down every last tree on the island, it is thought to have brought about their demise. With the land now susceptible to erosion and baron, famine and tribal wars was the result, ultimately ending in the loss of that civilization. Elizabeth post Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. These alternatives are intended to address concerns about fossil fuels, such as its high carbon dioxide emissions, an important factor in global warming. For thousands of years, humans have harnessed the wind to push sails, mill grain, and pump water. Today, windmills use turbines to convert rotational energy into electricity that can reliably flow into to a grid. On a larger scale, wind farms are projected to provide as much as 20% of global electricity production by 2020. . ...

The bedroom doors fluttered open and the light flickered on. Before me, a tall man appeared from the back room. His shirt was torn at the bottom and his hair was filled with lint. He held my eldest brother, Jonathan, eleven, mercilessly by the neck. Jonathan’s long and lanky legs dangled in midair. His cinnamon brown face slowly turned pulsing red. He scratched the tall man’s face to fight him off, but the tall man squeezed harder. Jonathan’s arms fell to his side and his legs grew limp. In my four-year-old mind, nothing made sense. The bustle of the St. Louis ghetto that normally bled into the night was nonexistent. The world around me stopped. The piercing sound of my eldest brother gasping for air echoed in my head. He could not breathe, and I had stood there, helplessly watching. My brothers and sisters were at home that night. Crystal, three, and Maria, two, both fast asleep. Ricardo, five, must have been asleep in the other room. Andres, ten, who was known for his quick temperament, watched stiffly from the hallway, his nose flared, and his forehead filled with veins. He dashed into the other room and returned with a hammer in his right hand, ready to pounce. The tall man smirked. My mother, who was out a lot, was at home that night. She saw the sinister look on the man’s face and quickly ran to Andres. “Give me the hammer,” she said, ripping it from my brother’s hand. Her terror filled eyes shifted towards the tall man, whose nails were still planted deeply in Jonathan’s throat. She leaped into the air and swung the hammer, hitting the tall man in the temple. The man stumbled backwards, his cheeks landing firmly against the wooden floors, his mouth and eyes wide open, blood oozing from his head. The world around us stopped. .
