*Draft* Learning Outcome: RW5.1 Explain the importance of sustainable management of the environment to Canada's future
Indicators:
a) Differentiate between renewable resources (e.g. forests, fish, water) and non-renewable resources (e.g. oil, minerals)
b) Create an inventory of current non-sustainable practices (e.g. presence of plastics; packaging; dumping of waste into river systems)
c) List the possible consequences of non-sustainable practices related to the use of resources (e.g. lack of resources for future generations, endangered species, global warming)
d) Taking one resource as an example, show how its use affects the environment (e.g. forests, tar sands, coal, biofuel)
e) Give examples of individual actions that contribute to sustainability (e.g. water conservation, informed decisions by consumers, reusing materials).
