THE USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Renewable resources
Fertile soil
important
is used
livestock
basis of the global food supply
agriculture
overexploitation
Excessive use
less fertile
make land disappear altogether
Forest
emitted by
industrial processes
everyday activities
are necessary to
maintain plant
animal biodiversity
generate oxygen
important source of resources
such as wood
essential to the absorption of CO2
become
natural lungs'
recreational areas
renewable resources
are fundamental
existence and renewal depend on rational use
Logging/forest fires
forests are threatened renewable resources due abusive exploitation
equatorial forests
tropical forests
expose the ground to weather conditions
uprooting
displacement
soil erosion
Non-renewable resources
demand for these products is so great
ripe for exploration and exploitation
increased level of oil resources
used in energy production
lead to non-renewable resources
used completely
resources must not be wasted
it's essential that we find alternatives
to produce the energy that we need
nonrenewable resources
lifestyle based on consumerism
high global population
Intense industrial/economic development
such as
hydrocarbons
mining resources
Demand for water
fresh water
no alternative
necessary for life
most threatened resources
Pollution and overexploitation of aquifers
to its consumption
serious dangers
advanced countries
don't worry that it's a renewable good that must be conserved
domestic consumption
inadequate watering systems in farming
recreational spaces that consume vast amounts of water
don't worry about scarcity of water
Fresh water
renewable
scarce supply on our planet
availability of drinking water
doesn't depend on the country being dry or wet
on its level of development
