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...

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 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!
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.
Why should non renewable resources be used wisely?
One day we wont have those resources.
What is a geoist?
A Geoist seeks to tax shift from taxing production - wages, sales, capital - to taxing the use and abuse of natural resources and the locational rent of land. The Land (classically defined as ALL natural resources of the world) is created by nature, not Man, and rightfully belongs to all of us, Geoists argue, and location and demand of rising populations give it its value, not anything private holders of Land do with it, so its value should be returned to the community that gave it its value. Productive activities should be simultaneously untaxed.
