In this video, Paul Andersen explains how the resources necessary for survival come from Earth. Resources are not evenly distributed across the planet and neither are humans. According to the NGSS, we must limit the use of non-renewable resources (like oil and coal) through regulations and increase the use of renewable resources. An educational progression from kindergarten to grade 12 is also included.
