Natural Resources 🌲

As the use of fossil fuels increases, environmental pollution is getting worse. Representatively, I will introduce a few. First of all, air pollution is getting worse day by day. Burning fossil fuels produces harmful pollutants and pollutes the air. Nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons combine in the air by sunlight to cause smog. Carbon monoxide, the main source of emissions from cars, is a gas that occurs when fossil fuels are not fully burned, causing headaches and additional stress in people with heart disease. In addition, mining, refining, transportation and consumption of oil cause water pollution. This causes acid rain to fall, polluting rivers and land. This leads to water pollution and soil pollution. 


Because of these dangers, people are focusing on natural resources, not on energy from fossil fuels or oil running dry in 40 years. Natural resources arise in natural environments that are relatively unaffected by humans. Natural resources are also characterized by the amount of biodiversity and geodiversity present in various ecosystems. Natural resources are divided into two categories : renewable resources and nonrenewable resources. Renewable resources can be resupplied in a short time such as plants, wind, water and solar energy. Another one is the nonrenewable energy which cannot be supplied by nature within a short period of time and the amount is fixed on Earth. Underground resources that people usually know are included in the nonrenewable energy. Underground resources are the resources in the form of a solid, liquid or gas that is naturally produced in the crust or its surface. It is also divided into ten categories : energy resources, steel commercial materials resources, basic metal resources, light metal resources, chemical industry materials resources, electronic industrial materials resources, refractory resources, precious metal resources, abrasive resources and geothermal and groundwater resources. Since nonrenewable energy is almost gone, it is the duty of the next and our generation to develop and get to know these resources.

Renewable Age 🌊

     Our natural resources are limited in the world, and they cannot be reproduced. Then where do we use coal energy in our real lives? Coal is a kind of rock with black surface which contains a high amount of carbon and hydrocarbons. Usually coal is found under the surface of the ground or the very deep soil layers of ocean. We usually use coal when we use electricity and drive the car. There are so many examples in our real lives to use coal, and even we can’t know or remember all the situations that we use it.      However, unlike natural resources, renewable energy is not limited as we can produce them by using material from nature such as sunlight, wind, water, ocean, bioenergy and so on. There are a few types of renewable energy. Solar energy Wind energy Hydro energy Tidal energy Geothermal energy Biomass energy Each picture shows the devices that help creation of each energy type, from solar energy to biomass energy in the order. 🌉🌊🌊🌊 (from Googl...

The Navdanya Movement 🌱

  Hyewon Lee Topic: The Navdanya Movement Date: 2021/12/09 The Navdanya movement was initiated in India to protect biodiversity and to promote the seed-saving movement around the world. It was founded by woman environmentalist Dr. Vandana Shiva as she wanted to guarantee seed freedom and food sovereignty for small farmers. This movement has progressed for about 30 years and was first initiated due to the sudden outbreak of the GMO crisis, which involves various health issues such as toxicity and allergenicity. The goal of the Navdanya movement is to ensure a new society in which economic justice and ecological responsibilities exist among consumers and farmers. Arising from this movement, Navdanya International was established in Italy in 2011 to demonstrate such qualities at an international level. One of its promotions refers to the Global Movement for Seed Freedom, which was launched to create unity among diverse organizations that have shown interest in saving seeds. As a matte...
