ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Natural resource

Natural resources are things we get from nature, like air, water, soil, and plants. We use these things every day and rely on them for our food, water, and other important needs. Humans have been using natural resources for thousands of years for survival. We can't make new natural resources, so it's important to take care of what we have and use them in a way that's sustainable.
