Inquiry Process

  • Why might some countries be better able than others to extract and use natural resources in a sustainable way?
     
  • How do we determine whether the extraction and/or use of a natural resource is sustainable? Is the extraction and use of fossil fuels sustainable?
     
  • What are some of the ways which countries around the world are practising environmental stewardship? What can we learn from these practices?
