When you recycle paper, glass, aluminum and plasitic you helpo save natiural resources. Everything in your house -- everything you wear everything you eat, everything you buy comes from the Earth. Take a look around you and see if you and your parents can figure out which natural resource was used to make each of the things you see. What was used to make your wooden shelves? Your plasic toys? The cup holding your orange juice and the orange juice itself? We need the Earth and the Earth needs us to recycle and reuse so we don't take more from our environment. Look in the word search to find some of the resources we use the most.

Look up and down, backwards, forwards, and diagonally for: OIL, SAND, ORE*, TREES, WATER, SOIL.

*An ore is a rock that has a lot of valuable metal in it.
