Readers also survey renewable and non-renewable natural resources including soil, water, forests, and energy. This narrative further explores how such resources affect a community's health, prosperity, and opportunities of its members. Young readers will begin to understand the economics of how resources affect trade and industry. This insightful book also introduces the idea that controversies exist about ways to use resources without environmental damage.
