How long will all of this last?Oil and Gases

The supplies of oil and gases all around the world and in Michigan is being used up faster than it can renew it-self.

The Great LakesHave supplied us with all of our drinking water

and soon they will be supplying states on the west coast with drinking water when the underground fresh water supply there is gone.

How long cnt. Forests

Michigan is filled with forests land fro building purposes as well as parks. If some of these forests are cut down too fast, they may be unable to re-grow fast enough for the animals living in them.

Fertile LandThis is often underappreciated and overused. If

farmers don’t take care of their land then the land becomes useless, it must retain its nutrients to be useful to further generations.
