Kid-friendly way to explain why humans need to use more and more natural resources

Imagine Earth is a Big Birthday Party!


Natural Resources are the Presents: Think of things like water, trees, and the special rocks that go into our phones as the presents at a party.


We Need Presents to Survive: We use these natural presents to do everything–drink, build homes, and even have fun!


The Party is Getting Crowded: As more people are born, it's like more guests arriving. Everyone needs presents from the Earth to live.


Some Guests Love Fancy Presents: Some countries have cool technology and use lots of Earth's presents to make gadgets and big houses.


Sharing is Important: It's like if some guests take all the best presents, leaving less for others. We have to learn to share Earth's resources better.


Fun Facts:


A long time ago, people settled near rivers and good soil – like finding the best spot at a party!


Countries with lots of oil and gas get richer, just like getting the biggest present at the party.


The Big Question: If we keep taking so many presents from nature, what if we run out? That's why we need to find ways to use less and share more of Earth's resources!
