Why Do We Need To Know About Limited Resource
Learning about things we can run out of, like natural gas for cooking and water for farming, shows us why it’s important to use them wisely. For example, we use trees for medicine and metals and rubber to make things, which shows how many jobs need to be careful with resources.
