Study Notes
Human Resource Development
- Improving skills enhances resource creation.
- Human resource development is essential for personal and societal growth.
Resource Conservation
- Resource conservation balances current needs with future generations' requirements.
- Sustainable development focuses on carefully utilizing resources for present and future needs.
- Individual actions like reducing consumption and recycling contribute to resource conservation.
Types of Natural Resources
- Renewable Resources: Can be replenished quickly (e.g., solar, wind energy).
- Careless use can lead to depletion of vital renewable resources like water, soil, and forests.
- Non-renewable Resources: Exist in limited quantities and take thousands of years to replenish (e.g., coal, petroleum, natural gas).
Distribution of Natural Resources
- Distribution relies on various physical factors: terrain, climate, and altitude.
- Resources are unevenly distributed around the globe due to these differing factors.
Human-Made Resources
- Natural substances become resources when changed by human intervention (e.g., iron ore to iron).
- Human-made resources include buildings, vehicles, and technology.
Importance of Human Resources
- Human skills and education are crucial for transforming natural materials into valuable resources.
- Education and health enhance human resource quality.
Principles of Sustainable Development
- Respect for all forms of life is vital.
- Improving the quality of human life is essential for sustainability.
- Emphasize conservation of earth's vitality and biodiversity.
- Minimize depletion of natural resources through responsible use and practices.
- Encourage community involvement in environmental care.
Individual Responsibility
- Each person's actions (e.g., saving paper, electricity, and water) can contribute to resource preservation.
- Collective effort can lead to significant positive environmental impact.
Minerals and Their Distribution
- Minerals have a definite chemical composition and are naturally occurring.
- They are not evenly distributed; locations can be affected by nearby industries (e.g., coal mining).
