Materials
Any materials that come from plants or animals, or that are extracted from the ground, are classed as natural. The amount of processing needed can vary greatly depending on the specific material and the intended purpose. Heavy processing and transportation negatively affects the environmental impact of natural materials, as well as irresponsible and unregulated extraction, mining, harvesting and farming.
