All living beings and non living being are natural resources. Everything present in nature that can be used to produce energy or carry out work is a natural resource. But they can not be man made, rather made by nature. We use goods and energy from forest such as wood ,coals from mine, water from rivers , wind flowing in the environment, and solar energy from the sun. These are all gift of nature to us.
But these resources are not infinite but finite in nature. Though they are renewable they need time to renew themselves. Nature takes millions of years to form these resources but man uses it up in a year with the growing greed and population.
If we do not have support of the natural resource we have to go back to agricultural era as all the energy of modern world depends on the natural resources. Transportation can not work without fuel and electricity. People and globalization is possible because natural resources fuel the production of internet and satellite possible.
People will be limited to their certain place even within their own country in lack of natural resources. If we do not prioritize our natural resource, learn to recycle, reuse, decrease the use and wastage , We will be in trouble. Human life and civilization that we have developed can not exist. We should work toward conserving the natural resources so that nature will have time to provide for mans need.
We all can conserve natural resources by recycling things, which saves both material and energy. Next we can all plant trees, increase the forest, forest density for fresh, air, water, wildlife. We can develop and design engines, motor, electronics that use less fuel and are energy efficient. The most important thing is to spread awareness that though the natural resources are renewable they need time for renewing and it's vital importance in running human life. So, that the conservation of the environment starts from individual, society, country to the world.
