•We harvest and process renewable resources to meet our needs. Renewable resources are some of earth’s resources that can replace themselves through reproduction, re-growing, or renewing themselves. Examples of living renewable resources are human, fish, and fox. Examples of non-living resources are water, wind, and the sun.

•Harvesting and processing renewable resources has an impact on the environment. Harvesting renewable resources is taking any resources, including water, from earth’s surface. Processing renewable resources is changing from its natural into another form. Example salmon are processed so they will taste different or to preserve them or in other words make them last longer.

•Traditional aboriginal cultures protect and conserve resources. For example when a aboriginal person only cuts a cedar tree if its only needed.

We must conserve and protect our renewable resources for future use. If we conserve and protect our renewable resources like aboriginal people then renewable resources will never be gone.

Some things to do to conserve renewable resources :

• Use both side of paper because it’s a product made by trees.

•Reuse, reduce, and recycle resources.

•Only use resources you need.

•Compost which is another form of recycling.
