Study Notes
Natural Resources
- Natural resources are considered special and unique because they are essential for human survival and economic development.
- They are limited in supply, and their depletion can have severe consequences on the environment and human well-being.
Non-Renewable Natural Resources
- A prime example of a non-renewable natural resource is fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which take millions of years to form and cannot be replenished in a short period.
Managing Natural Resources
- It is a challenge to manage natural resources properly because of conflicting interests, inadequate policies, and poor governance, which can lead to overexploitation, pollution, and environmental degradation.
Replenishing Natural Resources
- Conservation efforts, sustainable practices, and technologies can be used to replenish what was taken from natural resources, such as reforestation, renewable energy, and recycling.
Importance of Education
- Education should be considered seriously because it plays a critical role in raising awareness about the importance of natural resources, promoting sustainable development, and empowering individuals to make informed decisions about resource management.
