It is the year 4000 and it is very cold.
Joseph is sitting next to his mom, trying

to keep warm. Joseph’s mom takes him
under her arm. She wishes they could

Conclusion

There are renewable resources that we will always have like the sun and

the wind. There are also non-renewable resources, such as oil and gas,

which cannot be easily replaced if we use them up. We must protect

our resources because if we use them all, we won’t be able to live.
