The environment plays a pivotal role in our quality of life. Access to resources enables the production of goods, which, in turn, impacts the economy and our way of living.
The province of Alberta has access to and uses many natural resources, such as oil, natural gas, forests, fish, and agriculture. The impact of these resources in our daily lives is determined by economic and political decisions.
In the Section 2 Inquiry, you examined Alberta Tomorrow's Introduction Video. This viewing introduced you to the ways in which resources affect the environment around us.
