Growing food in the earth is one example of using natural resources. Peas and other food we eat grow in the ground. This video shows people harvesting pea pods.

One way that people can save the planet is by using alternative resources to make energy. Solar energy and wind energy are examples of cleaner resources. Making energy from the sun and wind reduces the amount of harmful gas and waste that goes into the environment. This helps Earth stay healthy and keep making resources.
