In France people depend on their environment everyday. People depend on the mountains for providing water and rivers to drink, clean, and wash. Dams are also used to produce electricity. Forests provide wood for furniture, building materials, and fuels for fires. Stones such as marble, slate, granite, are used to provide materials for building. People who live by the seaside depend on it to provide fish for food. In some areas there are wind farms to exploit the force of the wind and make electricity for the people. As a result people depend on their environment for their everyday needs.
