- Rocks were a big part of how the Assiniboine group of the Plains people cooked their food. They would take hot stones and place them in water to boil it to make broth.

- For fishing, the Eastern Woodland people would use hooks, weirs, leisters, and nets, all of which were made by themselves from forest material.

- Woodland people would cook their food inside containers made of wood and bark, mainly from birch trees.

- The Northwest Coastal People would either bake, steam or boil meat and vegetables without the use of pots or pans, but used heated rocks in a fire, which they then put the rocks into a cedar box or a basket full of water, which would boil the water and cook the food.

- The Eastern Woodland people would prepare their meat by roasting or boiling it over a fire, and then they would eat it right away.

- We are helping the environment when we recycle, so that not as many new resources will have to be extracted from the environment.
