can not be regenerated once they are exhausted.
Examples: mineral elements, coal, oil & natural gas.
ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS:
Non-Renewable Resources:• Overexploitation shall exhaust many of our
valuable deposits which took millions of years to form.
• They can not be duplicated within human scale of time.
• They require time on geological scale to form.• With the sophisticated technology, we may
recover these materials from the highly dispersed state. But the cause shall be enormous & the effort could be economically non-viable.
Renewable Resources:• Though an enormous quantity of water is
present, for fresh water life depends largely on precipitation, which to is available only in a finite quantity.
• Its uneven distribution over earths surface has caused large area to become infertile deserts.
• Large part of earths surface is too cold or rocky for any productive use, and large area has to be devoted to forest & wildlife due to which a limited area at our disposal for agricultural pastures.
• Global livestock and fisheries resources can also not be expanded beyond certain limits.
• Only up to a limited extent resources of biosphere can be safely exploited.

Saving energy by switching of electrical appliances when not required.
Turning off vehicles while standing in traffic, when signal is red.
Using water wisely.Planting more trees & stopping deforestation.Avoiding the use of plastic bags.Use of more & more eco-friendly products.Avoid wastage of papers.
