This section defines non-renewable resources, provides examples such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, and compares them with renewable resources. It emphasizes the importance of conserving both types for sustainable development.
This section elaborates on the concept of non-renewable resources, which are materials that, once consumed or depleted, cannot be replaced within a human lifespan. Unlike renewable resources that can replenish quickly, non-renewable resources, such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas, exist in finite quantities. The use of these resources is crucial for energy production but raises concerns about depletion over time. The section underscores that while these resources facilitate modern conveniences, it is vital to express a balance between consumption and conservation to lead to sustainable development for future generations.
Non-renewable resources: resources that cannot be replenished within a human lifespan.
Conservation: important for management of finite resources.
Sustainable development: essential for future resource availability.
Coal, oil, and gas, we must use with care; or else for our future, there won’t be a share.
Once in a village, resources were plentiful. The villagers decided to use wisely, ensuring they could thrive in the future, leading to a rich legacy for their children.
C.O.P: Conservation of Petroleum, Oil, and Coal.
Example of coal: Used in power generation but finite in supply.
Example of petroleum: Vital for transportation and heating but limited.
