The natural environment includes all natural resources that are necessary for life: the air,
the oceans, the sun and the land. Because they are vital for life, these resources must be
protected from pollution and conserved. Ecologists study their importance and how to use
them carefully.
According to ecologists, resources are divided into renewable and nonrenewable groups.
When a resource is used, it takes some time to replace it. If the resource can be replaced
quickly and easily, it is called renewable. If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is
2
called nonrenewable. For example, grass for animal is a renewable resource. When cows
eat grass, the resource is used. If the soil is fertilized and protected, more grass will grow.
Coal, however, is nonrenewable because it takes millions of years to make coal. All fossil
fuels are nonrenewable resources.
