The Type of Goalie Mask

I chose the Bauer 960 goalie mask because it’s the mask that some of the pros use.

What are the items in a Goalie Mask that are non-renewable resources?

The Non-renewable Earth Resources in a Goalie Mask are:

But what is plastic and where does it come from?

Plastic

Plastic is made out of Petroleum, Oil and natural gas. It is used for the shell of the mask.

Petroleum

Petroleum a naturally occurring, flammable liquid. It is found in rock’s beneath the earth's surface.

Petroleum resources have been produced from all areas from around the world. In the United States, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Indonesia, the former Soviet Union, Mexico, Canada and Venezuela.
