Description: "Did you know that parts of your computer come from deep in the Earth? Or that mining companies in the Far North build a 6,000-kilometre ice road that can be used only for a few months every year? Can you name Canada's most important natural resource? Canada is a huge country. Different environments on land and water provide many things found in nature that humans can use - from the paper in our books, to the food we eat, to the energy in our homes and everything in between. Find out what is produced from Canada's : forests -- oceans, rivers and lakes -- land and soil -- rocks and minerals -- energy resources. And learn why we need to take care of our natural resources for today and the future."--Back cover.
