OUR NATURAL RESOURCES SERIES 



Color Filmstrip House 



About 35 frames each Sale 



Conservation as we know it today includes consideration of natural 

 resources, human resources, and the products of man's industry. 

 This series deals with interrelationships to be found between the 

 natural and the man-made resources. 



FARMS AND FORESTS 



Here we see the age-old problems encountered in the preserva- 

 tion of soil, enrichment of soil to insure better production. Again 

 we find that many natural resources, such as forests, have been 

 thoughtlessly destroyed. It is essential to plan for better use of 

 all resources. 



MINERALS 



For many years many minerals have been extracted from the 

 earth with little thought as to what this might mean to quality of 

 soil, loss of mineral deposits. There are some mineral substitutes 

 which can be put back into the soil, but we must not let the great 

 mineral resources be completely destroyed. 



WATER 



Man, plants, animals all depend on water for continued exist- 

 ence. Water can also be a destroying force. So we see the need to 

 learn to control water, to maintain water supplies free of pollution 

 and adequate for the maintenance of all forms of life. 



MANUFACTURING 



If man is to live, he must be able to work, and to have resources 

 with the materials needed for the conduct of various businesses 

 and industries. These resources, too, must be supplied and main- 

 tained if our economic standards are to be adequate for the support 

 of our human population. 



TRANSPORTATION 



If we are to keep our economic system in operation, there must 

 be provision for transporting man and goods from place to place. 

 This means that thought must be given to preservation of natural 

 avenues for transportation to follow. 



SKILLS AND TALENTS 



It is interesting to note in this strip that consideration is given 

 to new ways and means of finding substitutes for some resources 

 that have been depleted, or are scarce. A good strip to point to the 

 value of research in the field of conservation.
