Conserving Earths Resources

2. Trees our resources. Paper is made from trees. We can recycle paper or reuse it. We can use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins.

3. Water is a resource Turn the water off while you are brushing your teeth. Take short showers. Volunteer to help clean up a beach or river bank near your home.

Replenish Earths Resources

1. We can plant new trees. These trees can replace the one that were cut down.

2. We can use old food waste to create compost. Compost replenishes nutrients, or food from plants, in the soil.
