About the Class
Everything is either plant or animal or mineral. There is no exception. Each natural resource can be classified according to its state of matter--solid,liquid or gas. Each can also be divided into Organic and Inorganic matter.
Organic matter is {or once was} alive. Matter that can be derived from something that was alive is also organic; such as coal and some types of limestone. If something contains carbon it is organic. Inorganic are not alive
Organic matter needs inorganic matter to live.
Inorganics can exist without organics.
All jobs are related to natural resources--some more directly than others. All jobs are involved in upgrading [manufacturing] or using [service industry] natural resources. Only a few jobs are involved in actually developing the natural resources upon which everything else is dependent. They are:
- Farmers,ranchers and fishermen ---- work to make the food we need from organic natural resources.
- Timber workers----work in the forest to help us use the wood from the trees.
- Mineral and Oil-field workers ----- produce mineral resources from the ground to help us make things such as steel, glass, concrete, oil, plastics and electricity.
