1. Welcome To Natural
Resources
BY
MS. ASMA WASIM
SCI 218 2017 OCT 30TH – DEC 24TH.

2. Greetings &
Welcome to Natural Resources!
 The existence of natural resources is very integral to all
forms of life on earth and these resources are overused
in residential, commercial, industrial and transportation
sectors.
 As environmental scientists, it is our responsibility to
explore the causes of the overconsumption of these
resources and develop sound strategies to overcome
the overconsumption.
 Whether you are preparing for an environmental science
related career or just taking this course to satisfy
general education requirements, I hope that this course
will enhance your understanding regarding the impacts
that the limitation of these resources will cause to our
society.
