In other words…
Sustainability is the ability to survive off of what you have been given.
To maintain the environment so that future generations can use it too.

What are Natural Resources?
Resources (raw materials or land) occurring naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by mankind in its natural form.

In other words…
Things that are naturally in an area.
We can have sustainable resources by getting what we need without harming the environment.

Ecosystems – all organisms living in a particular area and components of the environment with which they interact such as water, soil, air, sun
Biodiversity – a variation of life forms within an ecosystem and measures the health of biological systems.

Story of Stuff:
Answer these three questions while watching the video: What does this movie teach us about
sustainability? What are some of the suggestions from
the movie on how to change the system? Do you have any ideas/suggestions that
weren’t covered in the movie?

Assignment: Now that you know about Natural Resources
and Sustainability, get in your new partners and create a Google Presentation (whole group): Title your presentation as “A1 South Africa
Resources” (Class, Country, Resources) Look up all the different Natural Resources for your
MUN Country Put them on a slide show (with pictures for each
resource, and label what is being shown) Share the presentation with
[email protected] We will be comparing the slide shows on another
day.
