#WORLDCONSERVATIONDAY
Our planet’s natural resources consist of air, sunlight, soil, minerals, fuels and water. All of these things are found in nature and used by people. Currently, there are nearly 8 billion people that populate the Earth, with that number expected to exceed 9 billion by 2037. This means we all are using the earth’s natural resources every day, using them up at a rapid pace. Many people are concerned they will become depleted, causing concern about educating ourselves about the importance of conserving our natural resources.
