What are community resources?
Title:
What are community resources?
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
The strength of a community often is determined by the resources available where it is located. This resource discusses both man-made resources (such as dams, bridges, roads, buildings, and industry) as well as renewable and non-renewable natural resources (including soil, water, forests, and energy). The text further explores how such resources affect a community s health as well as the prosperity and opportunities of its members. Young readers will begin to understand the economics of how resources affect trade and industry. This insightful text also introduces the idea that controversies exist about ways to use resources without environmental damage.
