Activity 3.2.1- Natural Resources Review

 



Natural resources are materials from the earth to maintain and support peoples daily needs in life. The most important resources include air, sunlight, water, soil, stone, plants and fossil fuels. Conservation is needed to care for these resources so all living things in the economy can benefit from then now and in the future. The way I would like to elaborate natural resources in anything that is found in nature can be used by other living things is a natural resource. There are two types of natural resources in the world the first one is renewable and the second one in non renewable resource. The primary difference is that renewable resources are continuous and can not be exhausted after consuming many and many times. Non renewable resource is a resource that can not be immediately replaced once they are completely utilized. Non-renewable resources are more fragile. These are some of the main differences as well between the two resources. Non-renewable energy has a comparatively higher carbon footprint and carbon emissions that renewable. Non-renewable energy has a comparatively lower upfront cost. In conclusion natural resources are the key material to drive and sustain human and animal habitats.

 During the last decade within the twentieth century environmental growth was significantly high. Society was able to gain higher knowledge of the environmental challenges and issues the United States faced. The Brundtland report provided a explicit voice around these issues through analysis of human life based on social networks and ecological systems. Many environmental historians who have studied the U.S. policy facing these economic challenges came to conclusion that there were three main time periods which new concepts and ideas evolved. These three time periods were (1) the American conservation movement, (2) the rise of environmental risk management as a basis for policy and (3) the integration of social and economic factors to create the sustainability of paradigm. During The American Conservation Movement most early colonists who arrived to the states noticed that much of the land had very limited resources and there was minimal effort to treat and minimize wastage.
