are commonly seen in your area/ barangay?
2. What can you do to conserve resources?

EXPLAIN
Earth provides us with all the resources that we need including the plants
and animals that we consume as food, abundant water that is essential for
life, fertile and arable lands, precious minerals, and fossil fuels. However,
some of these resources are only available in limited supply. These
resources are being depleted faster than they can be replaced and it will
take millions of years to form these resources. We can easily denude the
forests if we cut down trees faster than we can plant new ones to replace
them. But if we allow the forest to recover before we start logging the trees
again, our forests will be here for a long time and can provide our needs.
This is what sustainability is all about. Sustainability is the practice of
using the earth’s resources in a responsible manner that will allow the
resources to be available for the present and future generations.
How can one use the resources sustainably?

Sustainable Use of Natural Resources

The following practices promote sustainable use of natural resources:
 DETAILED SCIENCE 7 LESSON PLAN

7 4th Quarter/Force, Motion and Energy 4/APRIL 18, 2024 4

 Practice the 5 RS - Too much consumption of goods also generates a lot of

wastes. If we are not responsible in managing our wastes, they end up in
our bodies of water, cause floods, harm the fish, and potentially cause
human health problems. Waste management such as the practice of 5Rs
(reduce, recycle, reuse, refuse, and recover) can help reduce the demands
for new resources in manufacturing goods and lessen the amount of waste
materials that pile up on our planet.
 Renewable Energy Resources - there are alternative energy sources that are
a lot cleaner and renewable. These are also easily harnessed from the
environment such as the sun’s heat, wind power, flowing water, and heat
from the earth. They do not emit air pollutants and carbon dioxide, the culprit
of global warming. Moreover, they are abundantly available in our country
because of our geographic location on earth. Hence, we must tap the rich
renewable energy sources of the country for a clean environment and
sustainable future.
 Reforestation - is the practice of planting new trees in denuded forests.
This will keep the forests standing to provide us with lumber, food, and
water. Forests also temporarily hold water to prevent floods and store
carbon dioxide to reduce global warming.

As our population grows, the number of people using the earth’s resources also
increases. This puts a huge strain on the planet’s ability to replenish the consumed
resources. However, it is not only the growing population that will deplete the natural
resources. Most of the time, it is how humans use the resources that exhaust the
earth. Food waste, overfishing, clearing of forests, too much use of single-use or
disposable plastic bags and packaging are among the unsustainable lifestyle
practices that we do everyday. Without the earth and its resources, humans will
definitely not survive. The earth has a recycling system that continues to provide
materials that we need. It has also a cleansing system that gets rid and recycles the
waste materials of the earth. But this amazing ability of the earth has limits. Hence,
we need to make sure that the earth’s resources are used in a sustainable manner
and our wastes do not overwhelm the planet’s ability to cleanse itself. For our sake
and those of our children in the future, we need to take care of our only home-the
Earth.
