Natural Resource Depletion (Earth's Environment in Danger)

Our natural resources include freshwater, forests, oceans, clean air, and land. Humans are steadily depleting each of these resources. We constantly use more resources than our planet is able to replace. People take long showers, use paper products produced as a result of deforestation, buy more food than they can possibly eat, drive cars that pollute the air, and mine the land. Each of these human activities has a number of negative consequences. This book reveals how students can reduce their contribution to natural resource depletion and efforts to find alternative sources of energy.
