- fresh water: We drink it to stay hydrated, use it for cooking, cleaning, and watering plants.
- plants: We eat them as food, use them for medicine, make paper and furniture from them, and they clean the air.
- minerals: We use them to make tools, jewelry, electronics, and buildings (like iron, copper, and salt).
- fossil fuels: We burn them to create electricity, power cars and machines, and heat our homes.
- sunlight: We use it for solar power, to grow plants, to warm our homes, and to help our bodies make vitamin D.
- animals: We use them for food, clothing (like wool and leather), transportation, and companionship.
I choose sunlight. I use it every day to see clearly outside, to dry my clothes, and to feel warm when I play outdoors.
