Resource conservation
Types of resources
Resources can be grouped into three main categories:
- Renewable - Resources that can renew themselves without any human management (e.g. wind, sunlight)
- Non-renewable - Resources that can't be remade/renewed, there is only a fixed amount available (e.g. coal)
- Sustainable - Resources that can be managed so they renew themselves (e.g. wood)
