Planting trees provides many environmental benefits. Trees remove harmful chemicals from soil and help reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming. They produce oxygen, cut air conditioning costs, and absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Planting more trees can significantly increase oxygen production and reduce carbon in the atmosphere, helping to slow global warming. Trees are also important habitats for animals and help filter air and water pollution.
Conclusion
We can positively impact the environment through conservation of natural resources and protection of wildlife. This can be done by reducing consumption of plastics and paper, reusing materials, recycling, using public transportation to limit vehicle emissions, properly disposing of waste, and protecting habitats through reforestation.

How can changes in an environment affect living
There are many changes that can occur in an environment, such as natural disasters like droughts and floods, or diseases. These changes can affect living organisms in different ways - some are able to migrate to find a new habitat, others can adjust to survive, but some cannot adapt and end up dying. Common natural disasters that can degrade habitats include droughts, which dry rivers and soil, and floods, which can wash away plants and soil.

In this lesson you will comprehend how the consumption of everyday products affects the availability of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources for future generations and learn about environmental threats to our home.
Read the following information to help you define three different types of resources—renewable, nonrenewable, perpetual.
1. On earth, there are only limited amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. There are also only limited amounts of minerals, such as iron, copper and bauxite. These resources either cannot be replaced by natural processes or require millions of years to replenish.
2. Some renewable and nonrenewable resources can be recycled or reused. This process decreases the rate at which the supplies of these resources are depleted. For example, aluminum cans can be recycled and turned into “new” cans or other aluminum products many times over. Recycling reduces the need to mine bauxite, the mineral used to manufacture aluminum.
3. Renewable natural resources include plants, animals and water when they are properly cared for. Minerals and fossil fuels such as coal and oil are examples of nonrenewable natural resources.
4. Trees, wildlife, water and many other natural resources are replaced by natural processes. Plants and animals can also be replenished by human activities. Water is continuously cycled and reused. Sunlight, wind, geothermal heat, tides and flowing water are perpetual resources.
Water is a resource that is typically considered renewable. However, over usage of water can cause us to use it faster than it is replenished.
The chart below approximates daily water consumption in the United States:
1. Thermoelectric Utilities 187 billion gallons/day
2. Irrigation 137 billion gallons/day
3. Public Water Supply 36 billion gallons/day
4. Industry 26 billion gallons/day
5. Rural and Livestock 8 billion gallons/day

Sacred groves are forests protected for religious significance that conserve biodiversity and support local communities. Conserving these natural resources through practices like reforestation and restricting development is important for environmental protection.
Natural resources
Natural resources occur naturally and include things like air, water, plants, animals, soil, and minerals. They can be divided into biotic resources like plants and animals, and abiotic resources like air and water. Resources are also classified based on whether they are renewable like sunlight, or non-renewable like fossil fuels. Some resources are ubiquitous and found everywhere, while others are localized only to certain areas. Natural resources provide many important uses to humans including for energy, materials, food, and more. It is important that humans conserve natural resources to protect ecosystems and ensure availability for future generations.

Chapter-1-Understanding-the-Nature-of-Environmental-Science.pptx
This document outlines 7 key environmental principles:
1. Nature knows best - humans should not disrupt natural processes like nutrient cycling.
2. All forms of life are important - each organism plays a role in ecosystems.
3. Everything is connected - all components of ecosystems interact and impact each other.
4. Everything changes - environments and organisms evolve over time through natural and human-caused changes.
5. Everything must go somewhere - waste products do not disappear but end up impacting other parts of the environment.
6. Ours is a finite earth - resources are limited and either renewable if managed sustainably or non-renewable.
7. Nature is beautiful and we are stewards - humans

Uses of natural resources.
This document discusses renewable and non-renewable natural resources. Renewable resources like water, air, plants and animals can regrow or replenish if managed properly, while non-renewables like coal and oil take millions of years to form and once depleted are gone. Water is one of the most important resources, found in lakes, rivers and seas, and essential for life. Air is also critical but can be dangerous during storms. The sun provides light and heat for plants to grow. Proper management of natural resources is needed to ensure their availability.
Characteristics of a group
A group is defined as having several key characteristics: members are mutually aware of one another and share common interests or goals; they develop a sense of unity and belonging; members identify with the group through a "we-feeling" and behave similarly to fulfill shared interests; and the group establishes norms or rules that members are expected to follow.
Human organization
This social studies guide describes the evolution of early human social organization from bands to states. Bands were small groups of less than 100 individuals with informal leadership and a hunter-gatherer economy. Clans were larger kinship groups that recognized descent from a common ancestor. Tribes formed communities of thousands organized into clans with sedentary agriculture and settlements. States comprised over 20,000 people with social hierarchies, centralized government, taxation, and infrastructure like roads.
