3.4.6 Resource Availability Review

3.4.6

Overconsumption - using too much of a resource

Pollution - anything that has been added to the environment that could cause harm to humans or the ecosystem

Resource Distribution - where resources are naturally located across the globe (based on geography, ancient Earth processes, etc)

Recycling - breaking down and reforming materials to reduce the amount of new waste produced

Unequal resource distribution leads to some areas not having access to enough resources, depletion of the resource, and conflict between countries.

Conservation and resource management play important roles in the sustainable use of global resources. For example, encouraging the use of renewable energy through government policy encourages global sustainability.

Human population growth increases the speed of resource depletion.
