Apr. 10 – Blood Diamond

Here are some definitions to add to your resources maps:

Renewable: A resource that can be replaced by natural environmental processes, unless badly managed.  
Ex. Lumber, agriculture, fish

Non-Renewable: A resource that is finite or replaces itself very slowly.
Ex. diamonds, fossil fuels, nuclear, minerals

Flow Resource: A resource that is neither renewable nor non-renewable, must be used where they occur.  They are used and replenished simultaneously. 
Ex: solar, wind, hydro

At this point a lot of people were finished with their annotated maps of Canadian Resources, so we started to watch Blood Diamond!

Handout
We will continue watching it on Monday.
