Earth resources are materials that we use for many purposes, like building, energy, and food. These resources can be natural, like water, trees, and minerals, or they can be made by humans, like plastic and metal. For example, trees are a natural resource that give us wood for furniture and paper. Another example is sunlight, which we can turn into energy using solar panels. We need to take care of our Earth resources so that they last for future generations. By recycling and using resources wisely, we can help protect our planet.
