Our earth

Our earth has many natural resources which

are useful. The planet has air, water, forests,
minerals and a range of environment that living
things can live in. some of the resources such as
the Suns energy is limitless. Plants can be
regrown. However, natural resources like coal and
oil are non-renewable. Once they have been used,
they are gone forever.
Oil is very precious. It can be used in our homes,
factories and for transports. It is found deep in the
ground or below the seabed. The oil discovered
here is pumped out by oil rigs that float in the sea.
Then it is processed so that it can be used.
Meanwhile coal was formed over 250 million
years ago, from dead and decaying plants in
prehistoric swap-forests. Coal is found in seams or
layers, with other rocks on top and beneath. It is
extracted by digging.
To protect our green house, all of us can
contribute towards the move. What we can do is
to recycle. We can recycle boxes, newspapers,
glasses, metal cans and plastics.

By recycling, we are giving a healthy

environment to our earth. Besides, we can also
practice a few tips to save energy. We can turn of
electric lights after using them. Other than that,
do not leave water running and of course recycle
paper products. If everyone knows what to do,
then we can preserve our environment.
