T hroughout this course, we have focused our attention on a variety of different natural resources found on Planet Earth. These resources can be used to benefit and bring good to humans, personally and economically. However, these resources can also be exploited, using them carelessly and leaving little hope for their sustained usage by future generations. This is not in accordance with the divine mandate to care for and sustain Earth and its resources! Learning Activity #5: Natural Resources Paper Submission Item: Write a 1-2 page paper focusing on natural resources found on Planet Earth. To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements need to be thoroughly addressed or included. Create a chart that lists at least seven natural resources found on Planet Earth. Examples can be taken from, but are not limited to these categories: fossil fuels, animal life, plant life, water, air, or types of minerals. Include colu mns for the following: A column that outlines the basic characteristics and descriptions of each. A column that lists ways in which each resource is useful to humans. A column that describes ways in which the resource is endangered as a potential for future use Describe the concept of “sustainable use.” Summarize steps that humans can take to sustainably use the resources you have listed in your chart. Write 1-2 paragraphs that address the following questions: What verses from Genesis contribute to the “dominion” mandate? How are the terms in these verses similar? How are they different? How does the dominion mandate affect human interactions with the resources God has placed on our Earth? How can this mandate be interpreted by those who try to use resources irresponsibly? Please use the OCU Template to ensure APA formatting is applied correctly. Ensure that you have cited and referenced at least two scholarly sources.
