Iron is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and is not in danger of running out. Man-made iron objects are eventually recycled by nature into iron oxide (rust) that can be refined and made into new useful objects.

Some resources are classified as renewable, and some as non-renewable. Sunlight is a renewable resource, and it is not running out. The sun will continue to shine for billions of years, which for our purposes is equivalent to forever. Iron does not really get used up, but it does move from one form to another. We have less iron in the form of iron ore, and more iron in the form of scrap and discarded iron. Iron is, therefore, somewhat renewable, it is renewable with some difficulty. Then we have resources such as petroleum. Petroleum is formed by natural geological processes, as plant matter is compressed over long periods of time underground, however, it is not practical to wait a million years for more petroleum to form. When the current supply is consumed, we will be out of it. There are replacements for petroleum, such as corn oil, but those are more expensive, and it may not help to use corn for fuel, when we need it for food, which is also in short supply as the world's population continues to grow. We have just one planet, and although the population is growing (and just as importantly, the growing population requires and demands a higher standard of living), the planet isn't growing. So resources are getting strained. If the world is a pie, we are cutting it into increasingly many slices.

What separates the metals from non-metals?

There is also usually a bold zig-zag line running from just left of boron (#5) to the lower right hand corner of the table. Some people think this line looks like a staircase, so the scientific community calls it the staircase. This line separates elements that have been observed to be metals from those that have been observed to be non-metals. Elements touching the staircase often have some properties of both metals and non-metals, so they are called semi-metals or metalloid
