　　Preserving　Natural　Resources
　　Through　the　changes　in　the　ways　of　making　a　living　in　a　family　over　several　generations,　the　cartoon　aims　at　sounding　a　warning　against　man’s　wasteful　use　of　natural　resources　and　emphasizing　the　urgent　need　to　preserve　these　resources.
　　Ever　since　man　appeared　on　the　earth,　man’s　survival　has　been　heavily　relied　on　nature.　Almost　everything　we　use　in　our　everyday　life　comes　from　nature,　ranging　from　the　food　we　eat,　the　water　we　drink,　to　the　wood　which　is　turned　into　furniture.　With　the　development　of　technology　and　population　growth,　the　amount　and　range　of　materials　used　has　increased　at　an　alarming　rate.　However,　natural　resources　are　not　inexhaustible.　Some　reserves　are　already　on　the　brink　of　exhaustion　and　there　is　no　hope　of　replacing　them.　The　widespread　water　shortage　is　an　example　in　point.　If　man　continued　to　squander　natural　resources　with　no　thought　for　the　future,　the　later　generations　would　end　up　selling　sand,　as　is　the　case　in　the　cartoon,　and　the　whole　world　would　be　in　a　mess.
　　Time　is　running　out.　It　is　up　to　us　to　take　effective　measures　before　the　situation　gets　out　of　hand.
