This is a broader question than relates to just energy, but I will try to keep it in the field of energy.
Things that are removed from the ground are, for the most part, non-renewable. (1)Coal is one, (2) petroleum is another. (3) Peat could be renewable, if peat moss were stewarded (grown renewably or harvested in non-damaging quantities), but in practice, it is usually not.
Animals have been hunted for oils, such as (4) whale oil, and this was done through most of history without regard to preservation of the species involved. (5) Seals were also hunted for oil.
(6) Whole forests have been cut without regard to maintaining them. Greece was deforested in ancient times, and Scotland during the middle ages and rennaisance. Today, slash and burn agriculture is still practiced in various places.
