What would happen to this Earth, in my opinion, is it would become as one does when all is taken from it. Useless, cold, dead. A constant reminder of what we took from it, and from ourselves. Our future selves will one day study this era as we study eras before us. Could you imagine using, say, asbestos or lead in this society, as we did not so long ago? It's difficult to say what will happen. Will society become as cold as our Earth is? Or, maybe become awakened? Live as a more grateful, conscience race? I believe a world without Natural Resources would create a great divide between the wealthy and poor, the educated and uneducated.

Why should the government control your natural resources?
It honestly is up for opinions. I do not think that it should, being a dreamer that I am; that perhaps all humankind can get along someday without blowing the planet into a Nuclear Winter...
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 utilitarian conservation?
Utilitarian is essentially using all of the resources we have available to us right now in a careful manner. Biocentric is the belief that all living organisms have an inalienable right to life. That each organism should live and let live, allow the pursuit of their own interests.
Why do you thing the use of resources should be sustainable?
The use of resources should be sustainable because if it is not you will run out of said resource. Depending on the resource this could be extremely disastrous. For example clean water shortages.
How are minerals and fossil fuels alike and different?
Your question should be "Are fossils like minerals?" See, a fossil is the skeleton of an animal that was compressed under ground. In the right conditions, the bones can be replaced - or filed - with minerals that leech out of the surround rocks and into the cavity left by the fossil. To answer your actual question more simply, they both come out of the ground.
