1189 - What are some natural resources that humans rely on for survival, and why should they be conserved?

There are four main natural resources that humans rely on for survival:

1. Water: We need water to drink, grow food, and keep clean. Without it, we'd get sick and eventually die.
2. Air: We need air to breathe. Without oxygen, we can't survive for more than a few minutes.
3. Food: We need food to give us energy. We grow food in soil, using water and sunlight.
4. Soil: We need soil to grow food, filter water, and support life.

We should conserve these resources because if we don't, we might run out of them or make them too dirty to use. When we waste or pollute these resources, it can harm our health, the planet, and future generations.

Conservation means using these resources carefully and finding ways to reuse and recycle them. By doing so, we can:

• Ensure we have enough resources for the future
• Keep our planet healthy and clean
• Protect animals and plants that depend on these resources too

Remember, every small action helps, like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth or planting trees to clean the air!
