Natural resources
The Earth gives us important things.
We call these things natural resources.
Air, water, wood and land are all natural resources.
Why we need natural resources
Living things need clean air and clean water to live.
Plants need water and land to grow, and we need plants for food.
We also make a lot of things with wood, like paper, chairs and houses.
How we hurt our natural resources
We should not hurt our natural resources.
We need them to live.
Smoke from cars and factories makes air dirty.
Dirty air can make people sick.
Rubbish makes the land and water dirty.
We cannot drink dirty water, and we cannot use dirty land.
How we should take care of our natural resources
We should all take care of the Earth's natural resources.
Here are some ideas:
Use things longer.
Reduce the things we use.
Recycle our rubbish.
What can we do today?

A juice carton's journey
15th June
I'm an orange juice carton!
I'm in a supermarket now!
16th June
How great!
A little girl takes me!
I think she's going to have a picnic.
17th June
The little girl leaves me on the grass.
No! She should put me in the bin!
Now, the wind blows me into the lake.
I shouldn't be here.
18th June
A man sees me, and he puts me in his boat with a plastic bottle.
Yeah! We aren't rubbish now!
19th June
I'm in a bin with other cartons!
Where's my plastic bottle friend?
Oh, he's in a bin with other plastic bottles.
I think this is a good place.
20th July
Now I'm in a shop!
Yes, people recycled me into a notebook!
I'm very happy and excited.
