Why is it important to conserve even renewable resources?
It is necessary to conserve renewable resources because they do not renew instantly. It's like the gas in your car. The gas is renewable, but if you race around like crazy without caring where the next gas station is, chances are you will run out of gas before you get to one. You can't use resources faster than you can make it, grow it or replace it.
We can easily renew renewable resources after a couple of years, but what we need to worry about is conserving NON-Renewable resources because these take about a hundred years to replace.. This is including oils and gases... They will not last forever, and we use them everyday..(That's the scary part) Also electricity has a limited supply that u may need to worry about if you don't want to be sitting in the dark in the evening.. The easiest way to save that is to open a window and keep the lights off!What are people doing to help the habitat of the amazon rain forest?
