Resources?\n\nThere are many natural resources on Earth that we can use to make objects,supportourselves or produce energy.Wood,metal and stone are used for construction.Fossil fuels,running water and sunlight can be used to produce electricity.  \n## Renewable resources\n\nRadioactive  \nWind,sunlight and water are described as renewable resources.Our supplyof these resources will naturally renew,no matter how much we use of them.Wood and other resources that can be regrown quickly and easily are also  \nmaterial  \n(page 27)  \nStone(page 8)  \nPreciousWe currently extract  \nstones  \n60,000p8g88billion kgof natural resources fromEarth every year.  \n## Non-renewable resources\n\nMany resources on Earth,such as coal,oil andminerals,are non-renewable.Once we use up oursupply of these resources,it willtake millions ofyears for the resources to naturally form again.At the moment,we have enoughoil to last usfor around  \n50 more years.Oil wells pumpoil from reserves deep underground.  \nAnimalsGasOil(page 18)Wood(page 22)(page 22)(page 12)  \nPlants(page 18)  \nWater(page 16)It's important that humans use resources in a responsible andsustainable way.We need to share resources fairly so that everyoneon Earth has access to the resources that they need.Restrictingour use of some resources will allow us to leave enough for futuregenerations.We also need to be careful that we do not gather orprocess resources in a way that harms the natural environment.  \n## Using resources\n\n## Resources Aroundthe World\n\nSome countries consume
