    Natural Resources

    I had a bit of writer’s block when beginning this writing assignment. I knew what I wanted to say, just not how to say it. I thought I should find out exactly what our natural resources were, in order to effectively answer the questions presented to me. The definition of a natural resource is: any resource that is supplied by nature. Some of the resources we get from nature are: water, minerals, coal, oil, gas, living things, and the land itself. Other important resources that I think should also be considered are resources that are obtained from animals. We get milk, eggs, meat, fish, skin/hide, all of which are needed to be able to survive. Our responsibility is to these resources, because they keep us alive. We should never take them for granted because although they most of the time are in abundance they are not in an infinite supply. We should use as much of these resources as needed to survive, but replacing them when ever at all possible. Our responsibility is to make sure we never run out of these resources, to make sure we are constantly doing our part to find alternative to these resources – so we do not exhaust our supply. I do very much agree with our book that “the word resources does imply something to be used, yet how far do we go?...” Keep in mind, I don’t think they are saying that they are infinite resources, so to me the word resources doesn’t mean something we’ll have forever.…

    Natural resources are useful materials or substances that exist in the environment like land, water, sun, trees, oil, minerals, etc. Natural resources are generally classified as renewable resources and non-renewable resources. Resource depletion means exhaustion of natural resources in a certain region. When the rate of consumption of these resources exceeds the rate at which they are restored, depletion of resources occurs. The utilization of natural resources has increased considerably due to the rapid growth in population. Improvements and advancements in science and technology have resulted in overutilization of natural resources. Some of the major causes of depletion of natural resources are as follows: Overutilization or exploitation of resources. Partial allocation of resources. Population growth. Advancements in technology. Deforestation. Soil erosion. Mining. Depletion of non-renewable resources (water, minerals, oil, and gas) has a serious impact on world economy and can create an imbalance between different nations. Overutilization of resources can cause disruption and destruction of the ecosystem. Overexploitation of water has caused drying of water bodies like lakes and streams. Therefore, we must utilize these resources carefully to maintain a balance between nature and mankind and also for the sustenance of life on earth. -…
