Our
planet, the earth, is like a giant spaceship. Everything we need for
survival is on board the ship -- air for breathing, water for drinking
and land for growing food.
Also like a spaceship, our earth can not make more air, water or land,
or get more from outer space. In fact, the water you drink, the air you
breathe and the ground you play on have been around for a very, very
long time.
Just
think, a dinosaur could have drunk the same water that's in your bathtub!
The air you are breathing now is the same air that our 16th president,
Abraham Lincoln, breathed. Your backyard may have been a prairie where
buffalo fed 200 years ago.
This is possible because nature uses air, water and land again and again.
This is called recycling. Energy in the form of sunlight provides the
power for recycling by nature.
Now
come along with Captain Redbird to see how nature recycles
the air you breathe!
