Things such as fossil fuel, minerals, water, and trees are called natural resources. They are provided by the Earth so that human can use it to produce a much more elaborate product such as desks, gasoline, and shelters. However, these raw materials are limited, they do not and cannot be replenish, yet our human are extremely dependent on them. As an undergrad student who’s majoring in Environment Engineer, I strongly believe that the world should be more concern and preserve our natural resources, otherwise, we would have no food left to feed our hungry stomach and no fuel to transport and travel. As a result, there would be no one left in this planet we so called it “home.” As the population booming to the extreme, the demand for food also

Fossil fuel came from a dead animal, over million years, dirt and sand and minerals stack on top and eventually, they became “fossil” fuel. We extract these fossil fuel and turn them into gasoline to fuel our cars, airplanes, and vessels. My car is a 1999 Honda Accord V6, it holds about 13 gallon of gas and take 20 miles in the city and 28 per gallon in the highway. From my house to school round trip is roughly 56 miles, and to work is another 60 miles so my car needs at least 16 gal per week. This is just a small coupe car, think about how much it would take for transport ships to travel, how much for commercial airplanes, and how much for buses? People said that money is what kept the world going, I disagree because I believe that fossil fuel is what kept the world going. Imagine that our natural fossil fuel resources is depleted and there are no more gas to fuel our machines, this mean that no more transportation of goods, no more money going to company’s bank, and no money to pay their worker. As a result, nobody can pay taxes for the government, and what kind of government that doesn’t have …show more content…
However, growing up seeing the world is change dramatically, all the careless and reckless things we have done for our self-interests has caused damage the Earth. If a farmer sees a tree that is unhealthy, they don’t look at the branches to diagnose it, they look at the root. So like that formula, we should look at the root and not to the branches of government, we are the roots, we are the foundation of this Earth’s generation and it is up to us to take care of this planet. It is our only home and we need to set our mind that we are not the part from nature, but we are the part of nature and to betray nature is to betray us, and to save nature is to save us. For whatever we are fighting for, racism, poverty, gay-rights, or any type of equality, it won’t matter in the least, because if we don’t all work together to save our only planet Earth, we would be equally,
