    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).
