Out of all of the different types of resources I say renewable is the best. The natural resources which are consumed/exhausted/depleted through continuous use and can be recovered by very hard efforts taken up for long periods are called Renewable Resources. For e.g. Soils, forests, groundwater etc. In other words we can say that all renewable resources are replenished through natural cycles or manually. For example oxygen in air is replenished through photosynthesis. Forests are maintained themselves and manually. Similarly, fresh water is available through cycles & manually too. Most of the removable resources are interdependent to each other. Forests maintain the environment/climate; plants need to check soil erosion & soil is needed for plants. Air and insects are needed for pollination. Wood, fibre, fodder, fruits, vegetables, milk etc. are developed directly or indirectly by recent photosynthetic activity. Thus the renewal of these resources will continue at as long as photosynthesis continues on this planet. These resources are the life support system which can fulfill all human needs. But its productivity/renewability is limited or depends upon availability of water, nutrients and environmental conditions. The natural resources are useful to human society in one way or other. Hence we should ensure a continuous yield of useful plants, animals and materials by establishing a balanced cycle of harvest and renewal. Too much of one of these could result in disorder. Non-Renewable Resources Nonrenewable resources are not able to be replenished. We cannot get back our coal and petroleum reserves in our life time, if the present ones are consumed/exhausted completely. Non-renewable resources are metals (iron, copper, zinc etc... ... middle of paper ... ...ct is established and the aim for the manufacturer is now to maintain the market share they have built up. This is probably the most competitive time for most products and businesses need to invest wisely in any marketing they undertake. They also need to consider any product modifications or improvements to the production process which might give them a competitive advantage. Decline Stage – Eventually, the market for a product will start to shrink, and this is what’s known as the decline stage. This shrinkage could be due to the market becoming saturated (i.e. all the customers who will buy the product have already purchased it), or because the consumers are switching to a different type of product. While this decline may be inevitable, it may still be possible for companies to make some profit by switching to less-expensive production methods and cheaper markets.
Throughout its history the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, renowned for its natural beauty and natural resources, lured its first settlers with that beauty and ease of access to those natural resources, whether those settlers were Native American tribes or colonists and frontiersmen. Since before the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, the prospect of material wealth derived from those resources inspired many hard working, innovative, and industrious citizens. People such as Colonel Edwin L. Drake, who drilled the first commercially successful oil well near Titusville, Pennsylvania, pioneered the development of the oil and gas industry, and ushered in the United State’s first oil boom. Its vast reserves of oil, gas, and coal, underground, and timber on the surface, played a pivotal role in the development of the Commonwealth as one of the nation’s leading industrial areas. It was only natural that the value of the rights in property on the surface and below the surface was realized. Early in the 20th Century, the Commonwealth began its acquisition of multitudes of tracts of land for state forests, state parks and game lands, the ownership rights to the surface and subsurface property, in many cases, were separate.
...cts and identify different market segments they could market the products to—both could have been a success. For example, one of the players could have been a cheap entry-level product and the other a higher-end product. Or have little differentiation between the two products, but introduce one of the players in the US domestic market and another in overseas markets.
The main message conveyed in Diamond's essay is that we are just as capable of choking ourselves out by our own doing today as were the historical civilizations that suffered the same fate. Despite their differing focuses, each article agrees that humans are outgrowing the finite amount of resources that the Earth can provide. A delicate symbiotic relationship between life and the environment has been maintained throughout time. Life on Earth is shaped by the constantly changing climate and surroundings. However, humans have gained the capacity to transcend this relationship.
Growth: If the product succeeds, sales will grow. Prices could still be high, but with increased competition prices will drop. The producer still advertise at a high level to fight off competition. Product starts to move into profitability.
Nonrenewable resources are resources that take millions of years to replenish. In 2006, BP, the British Petroleum Company, released research indicating that there are only around 1,200 billion barrels of oil left in all of the world’s reserves (Issitt & Warhol). That means there are approximately 368 years until all of the world’s fossil fuels are used up entirely. Therefore reductions and changes need to be made; alternative energy can substitute and take place of the nonrenewable fuels. All alternative energies are renewable resources; there will always be sun, wind, water, and geothermal heat. These resources restore themselves and will never run out as opposed to fossil fuels; there won’t be any concerns about scarcity or frantic searching among energy corporations if they start investing in building alternative energy companies
Natural gas is not a renewable resource, since there is a fixed amount of it trapped in the Earth. However, many people think that there is a small amount of natural gas and that we may use it all up. This is not true. There was said to be a gas shortage in the 1970’s so prices of oil skyrocketed from three dollars a barrel to twelve dollars a barrel. In reality, this was an excuse prompted by the government's lack of faith in the industry's ability to discover and develop new reserves, and not by lack of gas supply. The disastrous impression left by the “shortages of gas” in the 1970's is that there is little gas left to be discovered and will soon run out . However, in reality, the gas resource base is massive, and probably even larger than
Profits are nonexistent because of the heavy expenses of product introduction. Growth stage: a period of rapid market acceptance and substantial profit improvement.
Alternative energy sources are renewable, and is most commonly referred to as free energy sources. There are many alternative energy sources such as hydro power, solar power, wind, biomass, and geothermal. Using alternative sources is more expensive in the long run, but it is the much safer option for our environment compared to fossil fuels. Although everything used is completely free, such as water and wind, the equipment used to generate these things are expensive. There are several pros and cons that come with the utilization of alternative energy sources.

...ative, renewable energy resources. Most tend to think of solar power, wind power, and hydroelectricity as the most capable alternatives to fossil fuels, yet that mindset is greatly evolving.
The United States currently relies heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy. While the price of natural gas per barrel continues to plummet, the United States is constantly seeking new sources of renewable energy. Renewable energy consists of any type of natural resource (solar power, ocean power, wind power, rain, snow, etc.) that naturally and automatically replenishes itself. Renewable energy is important because it is infinite and everlasting, meaning our children and our children’s children will be able to utilize these resources long after we are gone. I believe the only way the United States and the world will see a large-scale transition to renewable energy sources is through education. Right now, it seems as though only a few pockets of people throughout the world are aware of the positive benefits of renewable energy sources. Not only is it better and cleaner for our environment, but the industry of renewable energy could also
The natural ecosystem provides both goods and services to us. The ecosystem goods are the things that people produced from soil, water and plants; Crops, Fibre, Timber, Livestock, Tourism, etc. are the example of ecosystem goods. And, at the same time people get a varieties of fundamental and life supporting services such as flood control, clean air and water, pollination of crops and other plants, natural hazard regulation, cultural, spiritual and aesthetic services which are called ES ( Kerr, G., 2010).
“Thus sustainable development can only be pursued if population size and growth are in harmony with the changing productive potential of the ecosystem (p.
Green technology is the technology whose main aim is reduce the impact of human activities on the environment. In other words the target of green technology is to consume less natural resources, reduce the emission, produce goods with energy efficiency, take care of health and safety issues and reuse and recycle the goods after their usage.
