Environmentalism: Our Common Waters. The Responsible Economy We at Patagonia, like all business people, know that long-term income has to exceed long-term expense.
To do otherwise is to go bankrupt, as Ernest Hemingway described, in the usual two ways: “Gradually, then suddenly.” Today we are using the equivalent resources of one and a half planets, yet we live on only one. All the indicators of earthly health are in deteriorating: plentiful freshwater, clean air, arable land, robust fisheries and biodiversity. How do we reverse this decline (and accompanying climate change) before it becomes catastrophic? Most conversations addressing that question hone in on technological solutions. We see a growing global dissatisfaction with the way the present economy relies on relentless consumption in order to function, while delivering less social benefit than it promises.
What is a responsible economy? During the next two years, Patagonia will explore these questions. Oil has many daily uses.

Natural Resources (Grade 4) by Aysha Ames Learn to identify renewable versus nonrenewable resources, their origins, and how humans use them in their daily lives. Plastics. Plastic is tough, light, strong, easily moulded into almost any shape, can be made in many colours, lasts a long time and is waterproof.
This all makes it an ideal material for many things. In the past there was the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age all named after the most important material used by people at the time. Today could be called the Plastic Age we use it so much. Take a look around you and I’m sure you will be able to see many different things made from plastic. Most plastic is also non-biodegradable, meaning that it can take hundreds or thousands of years to decompose after being sent to the landfill. There are many different types of plastic and this makes it very difficult to recycle. Most plastics are made from oil from deep under the ground or under the seabed. The oil that comes out of the ground is called crude oil and is made of lots of different chemicals, which need to be separated before they can be used.
