Natural Resources - Blog Posts
Currently, the Earth is facing a natural resources crisis. Natural resources are being used at a rate faster than the Earth can replenish them. The use of natural resources is essential to human life, which means there needs to be a way to ensure that these natural resources can continue to replenish themselves. Overuse of fossil fuels and overexploitation of water and soil contributes to the growing climate change crisis.
Developing a sustainable plan for managing natural resources is one way to ensure that everyone can continue to use and benefit from natural resources. Sustainable management of natural resources involves using natural resources in a way that both maintains and improves the resilience of the environment and the many benefits they provide. It focuses on the sustainability of industries like agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, among others.

Renewable Resources and Non-Renewable Resources and Examples of Renewable Resources
There are many types of natural resources like Minerals, Water, Wind, Coal, Natural Gas, Wood etc. These natural resources are divided into Renewable Resources or Non-Renewable Resources. Main difference is that some resources renewed at a very fast rate while others do not renew or renewed at a very less rate.
Renewable Resources
Renewable Resources are natural resources. These are those type of resources which can be replenished over time by some natural process. Renewable resources are used to overcome resource reduction which happened because of consumption or usage. Renewable resources have the capacity to be renewed over a short period of time.
Examples of Renewable Resources
There are many examples of Renewable Resources but mainly we will focus on Renewable Energy which is further categorized into energy resources like Geothermal Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Hydropower etc. Most of these renewable resources are also called alternative energy because many energy resources do not harm the environment.
Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is one of the best example of Renewable Resources. It is generated from natural resources and used to generate power or electricity. Electricity generated from these renewable resources are stored in the grid and then spread out through high powered lines. There are different sources of renewable energy which is used for generating power such as Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Wave Energy, Hydropower, Nuclear Power, Biomass Energy, Geothermal Energy etc.
Top 10 Renewable Energy resources can be found in the following video:

hi,
i am tempted to ask about you being "a fan of agriculture"
what do you mean by that?
Fantastic question that I’m happy to answer!
Short answer: I like food!
Long answer:
I truly believe that agriculture is one of the foundations of civilization and that being able to find ways to sustainably feed a community/population to the point that they can focus on building other aspects of the world around them (art, music, architecture, etc) is such an amazing thing we have managed to do.
Do I think agriculture industries anywhere in the world are perfect? No. Like medicine- agriculture is a #practice. It is constantly evolving with the world around it and that in itself is something to admire.
BUT I so deeply respect anyone who dedicates their life to raising crops and animals with such meticulous care. Especially when the work they do goes toward supporting communities that will never fully appreciate the scale, care, decisions, and work that goes into the balancing act of producing enough to make a living. And then to take that living they made and turn it immediately back to do it again??? Insane. Outstanding. And if you ask them why they do it??? Because someone has to. Despite being under constant scrutiny and having so much misinformation being spread by anyone and everyone (usually unintentionally but still) they just KEEP DOING IT?
And agriculture is so much on top of the actual growing of crops or livestock. There are endless opportunities for careers and connections to agriculture. Everyone is tied to it even if they have never stepped foot on a farm or ranch (a tragedy). If you ate food or put clothes on your body those things all came from agriculture.
Not to mention all of the intricacies of each specific agriculture and natural resources pathway/area. All full of people who are passionate about what they do and making sure they do it better than ever with even less resources.
*DEEP BREATH*
So anyway you could say I’m a casual fan.
