Resources, Conservation and Recycling

Global resource consumption and competition for scarce resources such as clean water, land, and raw materials is increasing, while global environmental concerns such as climate change, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss are deteriorating. Raw resources, land, water, and air enable us to attain the basics of existence while also keeping our society prosperous. Due to a multitude of issues, including unsustainable economic systems, the luxury of industrial nations, and the rapid economic expansion of developing countries, global resource use and competition for increasingly scarce resources such as raw materials, land, and clean water is increasing. Resource conservation refers to preserving and even improving the resources that are necessary for long-term sustainability. Recycling is an important part of conserving natural resources and makes a significant contribution to environmental improvement. Because items may be reused, recycling conserves natural resources such as wood, water, minerals, and fossil fuels. Recycling metal, plastic, and glass helps to limit resource depletion and the environmental damage caused by mining, drilling, and deforestation.
