Why Should We Protect the Environment & its Resources?
  1. If we don’t use our resources in a sustainable way we will destroy the earth’s ability to provide and support life.

  2. All of our actions have an affect on the environment. We need to understand the impact of our actions and develop strategies to mitigate negative affects to ensure that resources are available for future generations.
