Renewable items renew themselves, that is, they return fresh ready to be used again. Examples are:
- water (as long as the rain keeps falling)
- trees and crops (as long as we plant and grow more as fast as we use them)
- air
- sunshine
- wind
- the movement of the ocean tides.
Some of these are harnessed to provide renewable energy.
So non-renewable items are really everything else. Things that can only be used once. Examples are:
- Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)
- Minerals like gold and iron
- Uranium
- Sand
- Salt.
