Sustainability of Development
Sustainable economic development is taken to mean development without damaging the environment and not compromising future generations' needs.
Renewable resources and Non-renewable resources
Natural resources can be divided into renewable resources and non-renewable resources.
Renewable resources are replenishable resources. These are pollution-free and environment friendly. They take a short time for renewal.
Non-renewable resources are non-replenishable resources that pollute and damage the environment. Millions of years are needed for the formation of these resources.
Example:
Solar energy, wind energy, water, wood, paper.
Example:
Metals, glass, fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas, diesel)
