Why why are the earths natural resources depleting at a fast rate?
Because the people are using more natural resources and many of them are wasted carelessly so that's why the earth is depleting as fast as a rate. Solution : people should be more careful than they are and should use the natural resources in a limit.
What are two methods of managing range lands sustainably?

What energy resources will we be using in 2020?
more of natural gas
How can society manage agricultural risk more sustainably?
by managing them more sustainable and by making agriculture an engineering course
Why does precycling save more resources than recycling does?
why percycling saves more resources than recycling does is we keep on using paper cups and we could be using cups.The same thing with paper plates we keep on using paper plates and we could be using plates.
What is an example of misuses of resources?
using more energy to recycle then you receive back
Why must you use your resources wisely?
we must preserve and protect out resources by using them less and using them wisely.We must use eco-friendly resources and plant more natural plants and trees. Use water wisely also.
Benefits of using crude oil compared to renewable sources?
It is fresh so it can do more. It takes energy to covert the resources into renewable resources.
How do natural resources contribute to the gross domestic product of a country?
it affect as because we peoples are using natural resources and when their no more we well have nothing
Why should you be careful using natural resources?
1. MANY NATURAL RESOURCES CAN BE USED UP FOREVERBecause many of our natural resources are not renewable - as in, once they run out, they'll be gone. Another reason is that if something should happen to them - for example, dangerous chemicals in our water - the damage will be at the best, expensive, and at the worst, permanent. Finally, our natural resources are important to more things than just us - they are also vital for animal and plant species. Here is Wikipedia's description of non-renewable natural resources:"A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown. Often fossil fuels, such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are considered non-renewable resources, as they do not naturally re-form at a rate that makes the way we use them sustainable. This is as opposed to natural resources such as timber, which re-grows naturally and can, in theory, be harvested sustainably at a constant rate without depleting the existing resource pool. In this sense, all mined resources, stone, metals, uranium, and various other materials and minerals should be considered non renewable."2. WE ARE USING UP THESE RESOURCES TOO MUCHWhat's bad is that we are over-using our non-renewable natural resources! "Natural resources such as coal, oil, or natural gas, take millions of years to form naturally and cannot be replaced as fast as they are consumed. Eventually they will be used up. At present, the main energy sources used by humans are non-renewable; renewable resources, such as solar, tidal, wind, and geothermal power, have so far been less exploited. Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas generate a considerable amount of energy when they are burnt (the process of combustion)."3. WE DON'T NEED THESE RESOURCES AS MUCH AS WE THINK WE DOWhat are we using these non-renewable resources for? For the most part, energy - keeping our cars running, our air conditioners working, and our ceiling lights on. The problem is that we in North America are using way more energy than we need. We're wasting it, basically. There are alternatives, and I've pasted a link with more information in the sources section.4. USING THESE RESOURCES DOESN'T JUST HURT THE RESOURCES, IT HURTS THE ENVIRONMENTAnother problem is that non-renewable resources are high in carbon, and this means that when we use them as fuels, their carbon goes into our atmosphere. There, it sits like a blanket and keeps heat from the sun close to the earth, rather than letting it "bounce back" to outer space. So our summers and winters get steadily hotter, our weather gets more turbulent (more hurricanes, for example) and places that help keep us cooler - like the North Pole - start melting dangerously.Basically, we generally think that "everything will be okay" - but it isn't that simple. We're using things up, now more than ever, and that's why we should be careful!
What is one difference between a culture today using available resources and prehistoric culture using available resources?
People in the prehistoric times used rocks, bones, antlers, and horns, and the people today use other resources, like metal. Also prehistoric people could only use an amount of resources they could ingest (eat) or carry or push back to their living area. And they found more resources, versus producing them. Today, humans produce more resources than we can use each day using machinery, stock up on resources using scientific methods, and use machinery to transport the resources we use. Today, we can truck in resources from other areas, but prehistoric man used a limited area to hunt and to farm.
