Natural resources are materials and substances found in nature that we all use to meet our
needs. These include air, water, soil, minerals, forests, fossil fuels, and sunlight. These are
divided into two types: renewable and non-renewable. Non-renewable resources are limited,

they will take millions of years to form again. It is important to use all natural resources wisely
to protect our environment and ensure they are available for future generations.
