Natural Resources Watch the following clip and make notes on the different natural resources http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_6M3CNZRkU

Natural resources An increasing global population needs more resources. We all need uncontaminated food and water supplies, shelter, clothing and good health care. No-one can blame humans for wanting to support themselves and their families but the problem is...we are using up natural resources too quickly!

Religious attitudes Many individual religious believers probably waste as many resources as non-religious believers. However religious teaching make it clear to Christians that the Earth belongs to God. Humans not only have a duty to care for the planet but for other human beings. Religions all think we should preserve the earth, but we should also preserve human life and human needs too.
