Well a natural resource is something that comes from (or is provided by) nature.

So the first use of a natural resource (by humans) could have been:

  • A tree or bush chopped down or harvested to provide shelter, fuel or food
  • A stone picked up and fashioned into an implement.
  • A deer hunted down, killed and eaten for food.

The first large scale use of Natural Resources would have been the collection and harvesting of wood for building, probably followed by the mining of coal and steel during the Industrial Revolution.
